Multifunctional molecules with a bipyridyl core ameliorate multifaceted amyloid toxicity

Chem Commun (Camb). 2022 May 26;58(43):6288-6291. doi: 10.1039/d2cc01168a.

Abstract

A series of 2,2'-bipyridine derivatives appended with structurally unique biomolecular auxiliaries were synthesized and investigated for their ability to ameliorate multifaceted amyloid toxicity. Our results highlight the roles of the metal-chelating bipyridine core and functional auxiliaries in effectively modulating metal-independent and -dependent amyloid toxicity, and oxidative stress observed in Alzheimer's disease (AD).
