Abstract

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