Abstract: The present method for determining the efficacy of therapy in the treatment of amyloidosis involves administering to a patient in need thereof a compound of formula (I) or Formula (II) or structures 1-45 and imaging the patient. After said imaging, at least one anti-amyloid agent is administered to said patient. Then, an effective amount of a compound of formula (I) or Formula (II) or structures 1-45 is administered to the patient and the patient is imaged again. Finally, baseline levels of amyloid deposition in the patient before treatment with the anti-amyloid agent are compared with levels of amyloid deposition in the patient following treatment with the anti-amyloid agent.

Abstract: Benzofuran compounds which contain at least one detectable label selected from the group consisting of 131I, 123I, 124I, 125I, 76Br, 75Br, 18F, 19F, 11C, 13C, 14C and 3H are provided as amyloid imaging agents for detecting brain amyloid deposits as well as other amyloidogenic peptides associated with systemic or localized amyloidosis. Additionally, the compounds are useful for determining if patients, presenting with clinically confusing cases of dementia or presenting with mild cognitive impairment, have Alzheimer's disease. The compounds are additionally useful as surrogate markers for monitoring the efficacy of anti-amyloidosis therapies.
