Provided in the present invention are a class of Lincomycin biosynthetic intermediates and a preparation method and use thereof. Specifically provided are Lincomycin biosynthetic intermediates obtained from the genetic modification of a Lincomycin producing bacterium, and a method for the production thereof through fermentation and purification through separation.

Provided herein are oligomeric compounds with conjugate groups. In certain embodiments, the gomeric compounds are conjugated to N-Acetylgalactosamine or to N-Acetylgalactosamine analogues.

One aspect of the present invention relates to compounds, compositions and methods for diagnosis and/or treatment of a subject suffering from an amyloidosis-associated pathological condition. In certain embodiments, the imaging and/or therapeutic agents of the instant invention may be administered to a subject for identification and/or treatment of amyloid deposits. A specific imaging method detects amyloid deposits by administering the imaging agent to the subject and detecting the spatial distribution of the agent. Differential accumulation of the agent is indicative of AD or an amyloidosis-associated pathological condition and can be monitored by using a PET or SPECT camera.
