Antibodies corresponding to beta-amyloid (4-10) are effective in vivo inhibitors of cytotoxicity, amyloid plaque formation and special memory disturbances in mice. This peptide does not elicit an inflammatory response.
6,9-Dichloro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroacridine is a synthetic intermediate in the synthesis of tacrine-based acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors.1It is also an intermediate in the synthesis of multifunctional tacrine hybrids that possess radical scavenging, amyloid-β aggregation inhibitory, and or β-secretase 1 (BACE1) inhibitory activities in addition to their activity as AChE inhibitors.2,3 1.Recanatini, M., Cavalli, A., Belluti, F., et al.SAR of 9-amino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroacridine-based acetylcholinesterase inhibitors: Synthesis, enzyme inhibitory activity, QSAR, and structure-based CoMFA of tacrine analoguesJ.

16F16 is a protein disulfide isomerase (PDI) inhibitor.1It inhibits PDI reductase activity in an enzyme assay when used at concentrations ranging from 1 to 100 μg/ml.116F16 reduces PC12 cell apoptosis induced by the misfolded huntingtin protein HTTQ103. It suppresses PDI-dependent mitochondrial outer membrane permeabilization (MOMP) in isolated PC12 cell mitochondria. 16F16 (2, 3, 4, and 10 μM) reduces HTTN90Q73mutant huntingtin-induced medium spinal neuron death and MOMP in rat corticostriatal slices. It also reduces pyramidal neuron death induced by amyloid-β precursor protein (APP) in rat corticostriatal slices. 1.Hoffstrom, B.G., Kaplan, A., Letso, R., et al.Inhibitors of protein disulfide isomerase suppress apoptosis induced by misfolded proteinsNat.
