Pittsburgh Compound B  (Synonyms: PiB; 6-OH-BTA-1)

Cat. No.: HY-126192 Purity: 98.0%
Handling Instructions Technical Support

Pittsburgh Compound B (PiB) is a PET tracer for deposition in Alzheimer's disease (AD), with high affinity and specificity. Through click chemistry modification (introducing a PEG3 linker and an alkyne group at the 6-hydroxy position of Pittsburgh Compound B to generate a clickable Pittsburgh Compound B derivative, followed by covalent conjugation with azide-labeled fluorescent dyes or affinity tags via copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC)), Pittsburgh Compound B and its conjugates can be used for fluorescence imaging, ultrastructural studies, and the enrichment and characterization of Aβ complexes. Pittsburgh Compound B holds great potential in Alzheimer's disease research.

For research use only. We do not sell to patients.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
