14 Jul 2015
Abstract excerpt
Inhibition of the aggregation of the monomeric peptide β-amyloid (Aβ) into oligomers is a widely studied therapeutic approach in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Many small molecules have been reported to work in this way, including 1,4-naphthoquinon-2-yl-L-tryptophan (NQ-Trp). NQ-Trp has been reported to inhibit aggregation, to rescue cells from Aβ toxicity, and showed complete phenotypic recovery in an in vivo AD...
