: Major research in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) related to disease-modifying agents is concentrated on pharmacological approaches related to diagnostic markers, neurofibrillary tangles and amyloid plaques. Although most studies focus on anti-amyloid strategies, investigations on tau protein have produced significant advances in the modulation of the pathophysiology of several neurodegenerative diseases. Since the discovery of phenothiazines as tau protein aggregation inhibitors (TAGIs), many additional small molecule inhibitors have been discovered and characterized in biological model systems, which exert their interaction effects by covalent and noncovalent means. In this paper, we summarize the latest advances in the discovery and development of tau aggregation inhibitors using a specialized approach in their chemical classes. The design of new TAGIs and their encouraging use in in vivo and clinical trials support their potential therapeutic use in AD.

AbstractUnderstanding the mechanism of action of compounds capable of inhibiting protein aggregation is critical to the development of potential ther-apeutics against protein misfolding diseases. A fundamental challenge for progress is the range of possible target species and the disparate timescales involved, since the aggregating proteins are simultaneously the reactants, products, intermediates and catalysts of the reaction. It is a complex problem, therefore, to choose the states of the aggregating proteins that should be bound by the compounds to achieve the most potent inhibition. We present here a comprehensive kinetic theory of protein aggregation inhibition which reveals the fundamental thermodynamic and kinetic signatures characterising effective inhibitors by identifying quantitative relationships between the aggregation and binding rate constants. These results provide general physical laws to guide the design and optimisation of protein aggregation inhibitors.
