Abstract
- Recent evidence has been accumulating to suggest that the peptide β-amyloid may be implicated as a causative agent in Alzheimer’s disease. This compound is known to accumulate in the cerebral plaques that are characteristic of the disease. Whether β-amyloid is toxic per se is yet to be established, but several options are available which may reduce the toxicity of the agent and, thus, have potential in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.
