Abstract:
New polyphenol classes have been tested against amyloid-beta peptide aggregation. We have identified four novel polyphenols which could be efficient fibril inhibitors in Alzheimer's disease: malvidin and its glucoside and curculigosides B and D. We suggest that molecules with the particular C(6)-linkers-C(6) structure could be potent inhibitors. From the results reported for the flavan-3-ol family, their anti-amyloidogenic effects against whole peptides (1-40 and 1-42) could involve several binding sites.
