“…7,12,17,18 Various classes of therapeutic molecules have been studied to treat AD, including small molecules, metal chelators, nanostructures, peptides (or peptide mimics), and antibodies. 19 Small molecule drugs generally pass the blood brain barrier, target specific pathways, 20 are easy to synthesize, and it is easy to elucidate their mechanisms of action. 21 Thus, these drugs can play a crucial role as Aβ-aggregation inhibitors to treat AD.…”
