Abstract
A series of thiazole derivatives were designed, and prepared to develop RAGE antagonist for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). SAR studies were performed to optimize inhibitory activity on Aβ-RAGE binding. SAR studies showed that introducing an amino group at part A was essential for inhibitory activity on Aβ-RAGE binding. Compounds selected from Aβ-RAGE binding screening displayed inhibitory activity on Aβ transport across BBB. They also showed inhibitory activity against Aβ-induced NF-κB activation. These results indicated that our derivatives had a potential as therapeutic agent for the treatment of AD.
