A curcumin derivative conjugated with Gd-DO3A (Gd-DO3A-Comp.B) was synthesised as an MRI contrast agent for detecting the amyloid-β (Aβ) fibrillation process. Gd-DO3A-Comp.B inhibited Aβ aggregation significantly and detected the fibril growth at 20 μM of Aβ with 10 μM of probe concentration by T1-weighted MR imaging.
