Popis: Amyloid β (Aβ) aggregates in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and accumulates via oligomerization and subsequent fiber elongation processes. These toxicity-induced neuronal damage and shedding processes advance AD progression. Therefore, Aβ aggregation-inhibiting substances may contribute to the prevention and treatment of AD. We screened for Aβ42 aggregation inhibitory activity using various plant extracts and compounds, and found high activity for a Geranium thunbergii extract (EC
