Screening of Some Sulfonamide and Sulfonylurea Derivatives as Anti-Alzheimer’s Agents Targeting BACE1 and PPARγ

In the last few decades, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has emerged as a serious global problem, and it has been considered as the most common type of dementia. PPARγ and beta-secretase 1 (BACE1) are considered as potential targets for Alzheimer’s disease management. In the same time, sulfonylureas and su...
