Abstract

In our effort to develop multifunctional compounds that cotarget beta-amyloid oligomers (AβOs), cell membrane/lipid rafts (CM/LR), and oxidative stress, a series of bivalent multifunctional Aβ oligomerization inhibitors (BMAOIs) containing cholesterol and curcumin were designed, synthesized, and biologically characterized as potential treatments for Alzheimer's disease (AD). The in vitro assay results established that the length of spacer ...
