The formation of soluble oligomers of amyloid β42 and 40 (Aβ42, Aβ40) is the initial event in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Based on previous systematic proline replacement and solid-state NMR, we proposed a toxic dimer structure of Aβ42, a highly aggregative alloform, with a turn at positions 22 and 23, and a hydrophobic core in the C-terminal region. However, in addition to Aβ42, Aβ40 dimers can also contribute to AD progression because of the more abundance of Aβ40 monomer in biological fluids. Here, we describe the synthesis and characterization of three dimer models of the toxic-conformation constrained E22P-Aβ40 using l,l-2,6-diaminopimeric acid (DAP) or l,l-2,8-diaminoazelaic acid (DAZ) linker at position 30, which is incorporated into the intermolecular parallel β-sheet region, and DAP at position 38 in the C-terminal hydrophobic core. E22P-A30DAP-Aβ40 dimer (1) and E22P-A30DAZ-Aβ40 dimer (2) existed mainly in oligomeric states even after 2 weeks incubation without forming fibrils, unlike the corresponding monomer. Their neurotoxicity toward SH-SY5Y neuroblastoma cells was very weak. In contrast, E22P-G38DAP-Aβ40 dimer (3) formed β-sheet-rich oligomeric aggregates, and exhibited more potent neurotoxicity than the corresponding monomer. Ion mobility-mass spectrometry suggested that high molecular-weight oligomers (12-24-mer) of 3 form, but not for 1 and 2 after 4 h incubation. These findings indicate that formation of the hydrophobic core at the C-terminus, rather than intermolecular parallel β-sheet, triggers the formation of toxic Aβ oligomers. Compound 3 may be a suitable model for studying the etiology of Alzheimer's disease.
