BTA-2 is an uncharged derivative of Thioflavin-T that exhibits high affinity for amyloid deposits [Ki = 143 nM for Ab(1-40)] and can cross the blood brain barrier. It displays up to 6-fold higher affinity than ThT and stains both plaques and neurofibrillary tangles in post mortem Alzheimer's disease brain.
