Aftin-4, an amyloid forty-two inducer, activates γ-secretase, promoting the generation of amyloid-β-1-42 (Aβ1-42) from amyloid-β protein precursor. Aftin-4(Aftin4) increased Aβ-1-42, but not Aβ-1-40 in mouse hipppocampus, accompanied by learning deficits and mitochondrial ultrastructural changes similar to those found in the brains of patients with AD. Aftin-4(Aftin4) can thus be used to induce a rapid, acute Alzheimer's disease-like toxicity in the rodent brain.

It exhibits potent inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) with an EC50 of 0.49 μM and suppresses the release of pro-inflammatory mediators PGE2 and TNF-α. Additionally, it downregulates the expression of iNOS and COX-2 proteins, facilitating the polarization of BV-2 cells from a pro-inflammatory M1 phenotype to an anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype. Neuroprotective agent 5 also dose-dependently inhibits acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity and the aggregation of Aβ42. This compound is useful for research into Alzheimer's disease.

Simufilamum (also known as PTI-125) is an oral small-molecule compound candidate that targets altered conformations of filamin A. It binds and reverts the misfolded filamin A in the brains of Alzheimer's disease patients, thereby slowing the disease's pathological progression. Additionally, PTI-125 reduces tau protein hyperphosphorylation, decreases Aβ42 aggregation and deposition, neurofibrillary tangles, and neuroinflammation. The compound demonstrates concentration-dependent efficacy in vitro, starting at 1 picomolar (pM), in both control groups and post-mortem hippocampal slices from Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients. PTI-125 is the first therapeutic candidate to preferentially bind and reverse pathogenic protein conformations.
