To advance our understanding of pathological features associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), chemical tools with distinct specificity towards AD targets would be valuable. Here the authors used a structure-mechanism-based design strategy to obtain small molecules as chemical regulators for distinct pathological factors linked to AD pathology.
