A Small Molecule Targeting the Multifactorial Nature of Alzheimer's Disease

A Small Molecule Targeting the Multifactorial Nature of Alzheimer's Disease Sights set on a cure: Memoquin (1) affects several mechanisms relevant to Alzheimer's disease (AD): the formation of reactive oxygen species, the processing and aggregation of amyloid β (Aβ) peptides, and acetylcholinesterase activity. In animal models, 1 causes a remarkable decrease in the formation of AD neurodegenerative hallmarks and a significant reversal of behavioral deficits. hAChE, BACE‐1, and NQO1 are enzymes targeted by 1. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Angewandte Chemie International Edition Wiley

Abstract

Sights set on a cure: Memoquin (1) affects several mechanisms relevant to Alzheimer's disease (AD): the formation of reactive oxygen species, the processing and aggregation of amyloid β (Aβ) peptides, and acetylcholinesterase activity. In animal models, 1 causes a remarkable decrease in the formation of AD neurodegenerative hallmarks and a significant reversal of behavioral deficits. hAChE, BACE‐1, and NQO1 are enzymes targeted by 1.
