Discovery of a brain-permeable inhibitor of the neurodegenerative disease target kynurenine 3-monooxygenase published in @CommsBio https://t.co/vyLgzIR3IU - a study led by @nigel_scrutton @UoMMIB & Flaviano Giorgini @uniofleicester with contributions from @RossChemLab @UQPharmacy

[The Science of Parkinson's @ScienceofPD]

Interesting: @nigel_scrutton & colleagues present a brain-permeable inhibitor of the neurodegenerative disease target kynurenine 3-monooxygenase, which prevents the accumulation of neurotoxic metabolites. Implications for #Parkinsons?

How do we design better drugs for Alzheimer’s disease? According to a study led by @UQPharmacy researchers, it could be as simple as making a small change to the chemical structure of the current drug rivastigmine. Read more in the journal @CommsChem https://t.co/mDGCZ5Htrh

Rivastigmine and metabolite analogues with putative Alzheimer’s disease-modifying properties in a C. elegans model (Ross @UQHealth @UQ_News ) https://t.co/KbuwSVqf63

[Ross Research Group @RossChemLab]

Polyphenolic analogues of the #Alzheimers disease drug #rivastigmine inhibit both #cholinesterase and #amyloid beta fibrillation, and also reveal strategies for the development of #polyphenol-based drugs. Read the story behind our @CommsChem paper here: https://t.co/SNGapkwJMa

[Ross Research Group @RossChemLab]

A subtle change to the structure of the drug rivastigmine creates inhibitors of both #cholinesterase and #amyloid fibrillation that demonstrate efficacy in vivo in an amyloid beta model of #Alzheimers disease. To find out more, read our @CommsChem article: https://t.co/M1Pp973zj8
