The most important pathogenic brain changes contributing to the development of Alzheimer’s disease are the formation of the cytotoxic β -amyloid aggregates and of the neurofibrillary tangles, which originate from amyloid-β peptides and hyperphosphorylated tau protein, respectively.  Compound 8 represents a novel bis(hydroxyphenyl)-substituted thiophene that is a selective, dual inhibitors of the tau kinase Dyrk1A (IC50 = 0.5uM) and of the amyloid-β  aggregation (91+1% inhibition at 100uM).
