Abstract
The synthesis of a novel series of aminostyrylbenzofuran derivatives 1a-w and their inhibitory activities for Aβ fibril formation were described. All the synthesized compounds were evaluated by thioflavin T (ThT) assay and displayed potent inhibitory activities for Aβ fibril formation. Among them, compounds 1i and 1q exhibited excellent inhibitory activities (IC50 = 0.07 and 0.08 μM, respectively) than those of Curcumin (IC50 = 0.80 μM) and IMSB (IC50 = 8.00 μM) as reference compounds. Both compounds were selected as promising candidates for further biological evaluation.
