Therapeutical agents with action based on prevention of Aβ-containing pathological complexes formation.
| Therapeutical Agent (Class of Agents) | Potential Function | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| Aducanumab (specific antibodies) and other agents preventing formation of Aβ fibrils formation | Prevention of Aβ assemblage into cytotoxic fibrils | [113] |
| Synthetic and natural peptides that may block amyloid–amyloid binding | Interaction conditioned by the similarity to the hydrophobic domains of Aβ | [117] |
| Small molecules able to inhibit Aβ misfolding and enhance its clearance (LS4, for example) | Specifically binding to different soluble forms of Aβ | [120] |
| CPO-Aβ17–21 peptide | Blocking the ability of APOE to initiate Aβ oligomerization | [122] |
| Cyclic peptide cG8 | TTR-mimetic peptide comprising its Aβ-binding domain | [124] |
| Huperzine A and other ABAD blocking compounds | ABAD inhibition reduces Aβ-induced mitochondrial dysfunction | [127] |
| GAPDH–Aβ complex inhibitors | Blocking the formation of the GAPDH–Aβ complex and reduction of its cytotoxicity | [94,138] |
| Chaperone synthesis inducers | Newly synthesized chaperones block the formation of Aβ complexes with other proteins | [131,136,137] |
