Wollastonite is an industrial mineral comprised chemically of calcium, silicon, and oxygen. It has been determined to have low biopersistence in both in vivo and in vitro studies, which probably accounts for its relative lack of toxicity. There are no ple
ML 10 is is a [18F] positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracer that accumulates in cells presenting apoptosis-specific membrane alterations. [18F]ML-10 allows for the detection of apoptotic cells located in atherosclerotic plaques.
9(S)-HODE is produced by the lipoxygenation of linoleic acid in both plants and animals.[1],[2] It has been detected in atherosclerotic plaques, as an esterified component of membrane phospholipids and in oxidized LDL particles.[3]
Cholesteryl heptadecanoate is a cholesterol ester (CE) formed by the condensation of cholesterol with heptadecanoic acid, a C-17 saturated fatty acid that does not occur in any natural animal or vegetable fat at high concentrations. As such, it is commonly used as an internal standard for the quantification of cholesterol esters by GC- or LC-mass spectrometry. CEs are major constituents of lipoprotein particles carried in blood and accumulate in the fatty acid lesions of atherosclerotic plaques. CEs of various fatty acids are major constituents of murine and human adrenal glands.
Amyloid-β (1-42) (Aβ42) is a neurotoxic 42-amino acid protein fragment found in amyloid plaques in postmortem cerebral cortex from patients with Alzheimer's disease.1,2,3Aggregation of Aβ42 results in the formation of neurotoxic fibrils or globular oligomers.1Aβ42 accumulates in the brain of many transgenic mouse models of Alzheimer's disease and, in many models, the onset of amyloid deposition positively correlates with deficits in spatial learning and memory.4 1.Wolfe, M.S.Therapeutic strategies for Alzheimer's diseaseNat.

TAMRA-Amyloid-β (1-42) peptide is a fluorescently labeled peptide. Amyloid-β (1-42) (Aβ42) is a neurotoxic 42-residue protein fragment found in amyloid plaques in postmortem cerebral cortex from patients with Alzheimer's disease. Aggregation of Aβ42 results in the formation of neurotoxic fibrils or globular oligomers. TAMRA-Amyloid-β (1-42) peptide is a labeled form of Aβ42 containing carboxytetramethyl rhodamine (TAMRA), which displays excitation/emission maxima of 543/572 nm, respectively.
The amyloid β-protein is a 39- to 43-amino acid polypeptide that is the primary constituent of senile plaques and cerebrovascular deposits in Alzheimer's disease and Down's syndrome. Additionally it acts as an inhibitor of the ubiquitin-dependent protein degradation in vitro.
β-Amyloid (1-38), derived from mice and rats, is a chemical compound comprising 38 amino acids, specifically residues 1-38 of the Aβ peptide. Notably, it serves as the primary constituent of amyloid plaques associated with Alzheimer's disease.
Elenbecestat,also known as E2609 is a BACE1 inhibitor. By inhibiting BACE, a key enzyme in the production of Aβ peptides, E2609 decreases the formation of these peptides which can aggregate into toxic oligomers and protofibrils and eventually form amyloid plaques in the brain. Elenbecestat has been shown to reduce Aβ levels in cerebrospinal fluid, was investigated in two global phase 3 studies in early AD.
