5-Nitro-1,2-benzothiazol-3-amine and N-Ethyl-1-[(ethylcarbamoyl)(5-nitro-1,2-benzothiazol-3-yl)amino]formamide Modulate α-Synuclein and Tau Aggregation.

ABSTRACT: Protein misfolding results in a plethora of known diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, transthyretin-related amyloidosis, type 2 diabetes, Lewy body dementia, and spongiform encephalopathy. To provide a diverse portfolio of therapeutic small molecules with the ability to reduce protein misfolding, we evaluated a set of 13 compounds: 4-(benzo[d]thiazol-2-yl)aniline (BTA) and its derivatives containing urea (1), thiourea (2), sulfonamide (3), triazole (4), and triazine (5) linker. In addition, we explored small modifications on a very potent antioligomer 5-nitro-1,2-benzothiazol-3-amine (5-NBA) (compounds 6-13). This study aims to define the activity of BTA and its derivatives on a variety of prone-t
