title: Synthesis of 6-[2-(benzoxazol-2-ylmethylamino)ethoxy]-1-alkyl-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid and inhibitory activity on beta-amyloid aggregation.
abstract: 6-[2-(benzoxazol-2-ylmethylamino)ethoxy]-1-alkyl-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acids were designed and synthesized as beta-amyloid (Abeta) fibril assembly inhibitors. Their inhibitory activity on Abeta, aggregation was evaluated by thioflavin T assay although their activities were insignificant.
