Per-6-substituted-per-6-deoxy beta-cyclodextrins inhibit the formation of beta-amyloid peptide derived soluble oligomers

J Med Chem. 2004 Jun 17;47(13):3329-33. doi: 10.1021/jm034224e.

Abstract

Recent studies have indicated that the most important role of beta-amyloid peptide (Abeta) in the etiology of Alzheimer's disease may not be in plaque formation but in the formation of soluble, metastable Abeta(1-42) neurotoxic intermediates (called ADDLs). In the present work we describe the preparation of per-6-amino-6-deoxy-beta-cyclodextrins, which inhibit ADDLs formation in vitro.
