Discovery and characterization of novel indole and 7-azaindole derivatives as inhibitors of β-amyloid-42 aggregation for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease
design and synthesis of a novel series of indole and 7-azaindole derivatives containing, nitrile, piperidine and N-methyl-piperidine substituents at the 3-position to prevent the pathological self-assembly of amyloid-β. We have further demonstrated that substitution of the azaindole and indole derivatives at the 3positions is required to obtain compounds with improved physicochemicalproperties to allow
