Safety of 8-Bromooctanoic acid. The reaction of aromatic heterocyclic molecules with protons is called protonation. Aromatic heterocycles are more basic than benzene due to the participation of heteroatoms. Compound: 8-Bromooctanoic acid, is researched, Molecular C8H15BrO2, CAS is 17696-11-6, about Rose bengal conjugated gadolinium complex as a new multimodal imaging agent targeting presynaptic vesicular glutamate transporters.

Glutamate is an important excitatory neurotransmitter, and vesicular glutamate transporters (VGLUTs) are critical in regulating the extent of glutamate release. Because initial increase and late stage decrease in VGLUT expression were implicated in progressive Alzheimer′s disease (AD), VGLUTs can be a new imaging target for diagnosing AD. In this study, we have designed and synthesized a new multimodal gadolinium contrast agent conjugated with rose bengal to target VGLUTs (Gd-DO3A-RB). In addition to high kinetic and pH stability, magnetic resonance and fluorescence imaging using Gd-DO3A-RB showed high affinity to VGLUT1. Using the AD animal model (5XFAD), in vivo MRI with a Gd-DO3A-RB showed less MR signal enhancement in 5XFAD mouse brain than that of age-matched normal C57BL/6 mouse, suggesting a late stage decrease in VGLUT expression in AD animal model. Therefore, this new VGLUT targeting gadolinium contrast agent demonstrated a strong potential as a new diagnostic tool for AD with multimodal imaging capability.
There is still a lot of research devoted to this compound(SMILES：O=C(O)CCCCCCCBr)Safety of 8-Bromooctanoic acid, and with the development of science, more effects of this compound(17696-11-6) can be discovered.
