Biochem/physiol Actions
Fluorescent, amyloid-specific dye
X-34 (1,4-bis(3-carboxy-4-hydroxyphenylethenyl)-benzene) is one among the small-molecule γ-secretase modulators (GSMs) involved in lowering Aβ42 levels (the 42-residue isoform of the amyloid-β peptide). X-34 has also been used to visualize intracellular immunoreactive deposits with classic amyloid fibrillar ultrastructure in living transgenic Caenorhabditis elegans animals. It is also used as a histochemical stain for determining pathological changes in Alzheimer′s disease (AD).
X-34 is a fluorescent, amyloid-specific dye. It binds at a different site than Pittsburgh Compound B and is a highly fluorescent marker for beta-sheet structures.

Deposits comprised of amyloid-β (Aβ) are one of the pathological hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and small hydrophobic ligands targeting these aggregated species are used clinically for the diagnosis of AD. Herein, we observed that anionic oligothiophenes efficiently displaced X-34

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive decline, robust microgliosis, neuroinflammation, and neuronal loss. Genome-wide association studies recently highlighted a prominent role for microglia in late-onset AD (LOAD). Specifically, inositol polyphosphate-5-phosphatase (INPP5D), also known as SHIP1

The most significant genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD) is APOE4, with evidence for gain- and loss-of-function mechanisms. A clinical need remains for therapeutically relevant tools that potently modulate APOE expression. We optimized small interfering RNAs (di-siRNA, GalNAc)
