“…According to the revised amyloid-cascade hypothesis, certain types of soluble Aβ oligomers and protofibrils are more toxic than Aβ fibrils and correlate well with dementia [14], [15], [16], [17]. Therefore, modulation of Aβ aggregation using small molecules is considered a promising way to eliminate Aβ associated toxicity [3], [18], [19], [20], [21], [22], [23], [24], [25], [26], [27], [28], [29], [30], [31], [32]. We recently reported that red food dye erythrosine B (ERB) is a novel modulator of Aβ-aggregation in vitro and Aβ neurotoxicity [33].…”
