OBJECTIVES

The overall objective of the project is to design new molecules that can interfere with several processes involved in Alzheimer's disease. Particular attention will be paid to targeting acetylcholinesterase, oxidation and amyloid plaque formation.

Specific objectives

O.1. Synthesis and physico-chemical characterization of new nitrogen-containing heterocyclic analogues

O.2. Molecular modeling of the interaction with acetylcholinesterase

O.3. Biological evaluation

O.4. Project management, dissemination and communication
