Abstract

Amyloid fibril formation by the plasma protein transthyretin (TTR), requiring rate-limiting tetramer dissociation and monomer misfolding, is implicated in several human diseases. Amyloidogenesis can be inhibited through native state stabilization, mediated by small molecule binding to TTR's primarily unoccupied thyroid hormone binding sites. New native state stabilizers have been discovered herein by the facile condensation of arylaldehydes ...
