Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of neurodegenerative dementia that is rapidly becoming a major health problem, especially in developed countries because of their increasing life expectancy. Two main problems are often associated with the disease: (i) the absence of a widely accessible "gold-standard" for early diagnosis and (ii) lack of effective therapies with disease-modifying effects. The re...
2-Styrylchromones (2-SCs) are interesting compounds for their biological properties as well as versatility as starting materials for further transformations. Herein, we disclose a new 2-SC derivative—2,2’-[(1E,1’E)-{[hexa-2,4-diyne-1,6-diylbis(oxy)]bis(2,1-phenylene)}bis(ethene-2,1- diyl)]bis(4H-chromen-4-one)—which is a dimeric compound formed by two units of 2-SC linked through a 1,3-diyne moiety. It was obta...
