Design and synthesis of multi-functional small-molecule based inhibitors of amyloid-β aggregation: Molecular modeling and in vitro evaluation.
Amyloid-β1-42 (Aβ42) peptide aggregate formation in the brain plays a crucial role in the onset and progression of Alzheimer's disease. According to published research, the Aβ monomer's amino acid residues KLVFF (16-20) self-associate to create antiparallel β-sheet fibrils. Small compounds...
