Abstract:Alzheimer’s
Diseases (AD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease, but efficient
therapeutic and early diagnosis agents for this neurological disorder are still
lacking. <a>Herein, we report the development of a novel
amphiphilic compound, LS-4, generated linking a hydrophobic amyloid fibril-binding
fragment with a hydrophilic azamacrocycle that can dramatically increase the
binding affinity towards various amyloid β (Aβ) peptide aggregates. The
developed compound exhibits uncommon fluorescence turn… Show more
