We developed an orally active and blood–brain-barrier-permeable benzofuran analogue (8, MDR-1339) with potent antiaggregation activity. Compound 8 restored cellular viability from Aβ-induced cytotoxicity but also improved the learning and memory function of AD model mice by reducing the Aβ aggregates in the brains. Given the high bioavailability and brain permeability demonstrated in our pharmacokinetic
我们开发了具有口服活性且具有血脑屏障通透性的苯并呋喃类似物(8,MDR-1339),具有有效的抗聚集活性。化合物8从Aβ诱导的细胞毒性中恢复了细胞活力,但通过减少大脑中的Aβ聚集体,也改善了AD模型小鼠的学习和记忆功能。鉴于我们的药代动力学研究证明了高的生物利用度和脑通透性,8将为Aβ聚集抑制剂提供一种新颖的支架,该支架可能为AD提供替代治疗。
