Sights set on a cure : Memoquin ( 1 ) affects several mechanisms relevant to Alzheimer's disease (AD): the formation of reactive oxygen species, the processing and aggregation of amyloid β (Aβ) peptides, and acetylcholinesterase activity. In animal models, 1 causes a remarkable decrease in the formation of AD neurodegenerative hallmarks and a significant reversal of behavioral deficits. hAChE, BACE‐1, and NQO1 are enzymes targeted by 1 .
