Several small aromatic molecules, such as phenol red, which is used as a nontoxic drug model, have been shown to inhibit the formation of amyloid fibrils in laboratory model systems. A goal of the research on these small aromatic compounds is to find a drug that efficiently inhibits the formation of amyloid in the brain in people with incipient Alzheimer disease. Why would molecules with aromatic substituents disrupt the formation of amyloid? Molecules with aromatic substituents interfere...

Absorption - the process by which drug molecules move from their site of administration to the blood Affinity - the ability of some tissues to attract, accumulate and store drugs in high concentrations relative to other tissues blood-brain barrier - Blood vessels (capillaries) that selectively let certain substances enter the brain tissue and keep other substances out diffusion - process by which molecules tend to move from an area where they are more concentrated to an area where they are le...
