The aggregation of amyloid-β peptides into cytotoxic oligomeric and fibrillary aggregates is believed to be one of the major pathological events in Alzheimer disease. Here we report the design and synthesis of a novel series of indole and 7-azaindole derivatives containing, nitrile, piperidine and N-methyl-piperidine substituents at the 3-position to prevent the pathological self-assembly of amyloid-β. We have further demonstrated that substitution of the azaindole and indole derivatives at the 3 positions is required to obtain compounds with improved physicochemical properties to allow brain penetration.
