Aftin-4

SKU: orb1302916

Description

Aftin-4 is a γ-secretase activator that selectively increases Aβ1-42 production. This small molecule induces acute Alzheimer's disease-like pathology, including hippocampal learning deficits and mitochondrial alterations in rodent models, making it a valuable tool for in vivo and in vitro research on amyloid toxicity and AD mechanisms.

Bioactivity

• Animal Research:
  Brains of 4-mo-old C57BL/6 wild-type mice were dissected and mechanically disassociated in HBSS with a tissue homogenizer. Aliquots from each mouse were incubated with DMSO and two concentrations of Aftin-4 at 37°C for 3 h. Liquefied brains were sonicated and centrifuged at 13,000 rpm for 15 min. WB analysis was performed using CT695 antibody for soluble Aβ-CTF. They are for reference only.
