Amyloid-β (1-8) is a wild-type control for the mutation-containing amyloid-β (1-8, A2V) peptide .

Amyloid-β (1-8, A2V) is a truncated form of amyloid-β (Aβ) that contains a valine to alanine substitution at position 2 of the Aβ numbering convention (Aβ A2V), which corresponds to position 673 of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) numbering convention (APP A673V). An Aβ (1-40) (Aβ40) A2V peptide increases the production of Aβ and the rate and amount of amyloid fibril formation in vitro, effects that can be reduced by coincubation with wild-type Aβ40. Aβ40 and Aβ42 levels are increased in CHO cells expressing the Aβ A2V mutation and in fibroblasts derived from patients with the Aβ A2V mutation. As a homozygous mutation, Aβ A2V is correlated with Alzheimer's disease with distinctive pathological features, but disease does not develop in patients with a heterozygous Aβ A2V mutation.

Amyloid-β (25-35) (Aβ (25-35)) is an 11-residue fragment of the Aβ protein that retains the physical and biological characteristics of the full length peptide. It forms fibrils that react to thioflavin T and Congo red and are organized in a cross-β arrangement of β-strands similar to Aβ (1-40) and Aβ (1-42) fibrils. Aggregated Aβ (25-35) decreases the viability of rat adrenal PC12 cells. It also decreases the viability of primary rat cortical neurons at concentrations ranging from 1 nM to 30 μM. In vivo, intracerebral injection of Aβ (25-35) (20 nmol) in rats induces lesions of neuronal and tissue loss. Aggregated Aβ (25-35) administered intracerebroventricularly to rats induces learning and memory impairments in the Y-maze, novel object recognition, and contextual fear conditioning tests.

TAMRA-Amyloid-β (1-42) peptide is a fluorescently labeled peptide. Amyloid-β (1-42) (Aβ42) is a neurotoxic 42-residue protein fragment found in amyloid plaques in postmortem cerebral cortex from patients with Alzheimer's disease. Aggregation of Aβ42 results in the formation of neurotoxic fibrils or globular oligomers. TAMRA-Amyloid-β (1-42) peptide is a labeled form of Aβ42 containing carboxytetramethyl rhodamine (TAMRA), which displays excitation/emission maxima of 543/572 nm, respectively.

β-Amyloid peptide(16-20), with the amino acid sequence (KLVFF) derived from Amyloid-β (Abeta), functions as an efficient inhibitor of Abeta fibril formation. This compound is modified with RG-/-GR-NH2 residues at both its N- and C-terminal ends to enhance solubility [1].

Citrullinated amyloid-β(1-40) peptide (human) (Citrullinated Aβ (1-40)) is a modified form of β-Amyloid (1-40) that has undergone citrullination at the Arg5 position. Compared to the unmodified β-Amyloid (1-40), it exhibits increased transient formation of soluble oligomers and insoluble aggregates composed of twisted parallel β-sheets.

Qingyangshengenin B (Otophylloside B) is a C-21 steroidal glycoside isolated from Qingyangshen. Qingyangshengenin B protects against Aβ toxicity, which decreases Aβ deposition by decreasing the expression of Aβ at the mRNA level. Qingyangshengenin B has antiepileptic and anti-aging effects, it can extend lifespan, increase heat stress-resistance, delay body paralysis, and increase the chemotaxis response in C. elegans models of Alzheimer's disease. Otophylloside B can suppress the seizure-like locomotor activity caused by pentylenetetrazole in zebrafish.
