Schedule of items K 114 (25 grams) Ro 90-7501 (10 grams) Amyloid b-peptide (1-42) (rat) (6 milligrams) R-Citalopram Oxalate (2.5 grams) 3Fax-Peracetyl Neu5Ac (750 mg) 1,10-Phenanthrolin-5-amine [54258-41-2] (80 grams) Deferoxamine mesylate (75 grams) FOB Point Destination. All items shall include shipping, handling and in-side delivery to the destination identified herein. Delivery schedule: Delivery is required within 4 weeks after receipt of order (ARO) unless otherwise noted. The K-114 has a longer lead time so multiple shipments may be made. The government requires 5 grams of K-114 within 4 weeks after receipt of order then the remaining K-114 (20 grams) within 6-8 weeks after receipt of order. 3 milligrams of Amyloid b-peptide delivered within 4 weeks ARO with the remaining 3 milligrams delivered within 7-9 weeks ARO.

The NCTR, Division of Neurotoxicology requires an experimental AD drugs to be used for animal (rat) dosing of transgenic (Tg) mice. These drugs are characterized as containing therapeutic and toxicological properties. The purpose is to administer them to an AD/Tg mice population with Alzheimer's disease and the subsequent use of in vitro and in vivo imaging methods to characterize the drug compound's efficacy and toxicity. The drugs will be used in a new type of breeding colony at NCTR, AD/Tg rat strain. This animal is an important model that exhibits all the pathological features commonly seen in humans with AD (Alzheimer's Disease). It is hoped that this model will provide improved understanding of disease development and progression enabling the identification of new biomarkers of the disease and new drug targets. Transgenic mice have been used to study Alzheimer's disease, but none of them show complete spectrum of AD pathology. The purpose of this protocol is to establish a breeding colony of a genetically engineered rat model of AD to study whether individual components of the metabolic syndrome impact the neurovascular units and associated cerebro-vascular integrity in an animal model of AD. This model has potential to significantly impact FDA science and regulatory policy and will serve to highlight its use as a replacement for currently used models. The above custom-made experimental drug compounds are required for this study. Solicitation provisions Contract Type: Commercial Item-Firm Fixed Price.
