Aminostyrylbenzofuran directly reduces oligomeric amyloid-β and reverses cognitive deficits in Alzheimer transgenic mice.

Alzheimer's disease is an irreversible neurodegenerative disorder that is characterized by the abnormal aggregation of amyloid-β into neurotoxic oligomers and plaques. Although many disease-modifying molecules are currently in Alzheimer clinical trials, a small molecule that inhibits amyloid-β...
