1 BACKGROUND: THK5351 and flortaucipir tau ligands have high affinity for paired helical filament tau, yet diverse off-target bindings have been reported. THK5351 microtubule associated protein tau Homo sapiens
2 Recent data support the hypothesis that THK5351 binds to monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) expressed from reactive astrocytes and that flortaucipir has an affinity toward MAO-A and B; however, pathological evidence is lacking. THK5351 monoamine oxidase B Homo sapiens
3 Recent data support the hypothesis that THK5351 binds to monoamine oxidase B (MAO-B) expressed from reactive astrocytes and that flortaucipir has an affinity toward MAO-A and B; however, pathological evidence is lacking. THK5351 monoamine oxidase B Homo sapiens
4 CONCLUSIONS: Our findings add pathological evidence that increased THK5351 uptake in sporadic CJD patients might be caused by an off-target binding driven by its high affinity for MAO-B. THK5351 monoamine oxidase B Homo sapiens
