Discovery of N-methylpiperazinyl flavones as a novel class of compounds with therapeutic potential against Alzheimer’s disease: synthesis, binding affinity towards amyloid β oligomers (Aβo) and ability to disrupt Aβo-PrPC interactions

Abstract:

With no currently available disease-modifying drugs, Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia affecting over 47 million people worldwide. In light of the most recent discoveries placing the cellular prion protein (PrPC) as a key player in amyloid β oligomer (Aβo)-induced neurodegeneration, we investigated whether the neuroprotective potential of nature-inspired flavonoids against Aβ-promoted toxicity would translate into the ability to disrupt PrPC-Aβo interactions. Hence, we s...
