Biophysical and in Vivo Studies Identify a New Natural-Based Polyphenol, Counteracting Aβ Oligomerization in Vitro and Aβ Oligomer-Mediated Memory Impairment and Neuroinflammation in an Acute Mouse Model of Alzheimer’s Disease

In this study natural-based complex polyphenols, obtained through a smart synthetic approach, have been evaluated for their ability to inhibit the formation of Aβ42 oligomers, the most toxic species causing synaptic dysfunction, neuroinflammation, and neuronal death leading to the onset and progression of Alzheimer’s disease. In vitro neurotoxicity tests on primary hippocampal neurons have been employed to select nontoxic candidates. Solution...
