Beta amyloid (1-40) is a peptide that is found in plaques in the brains of patients with Alzheimer’s disease and is shown to have both neurotrophic and neurotoxic effects in human and rat cell culture models. This analog has Nle instead of Met at position 35 resulting in a peptide that has the same propensity to aggregate but is non-toxic to hippocampal neurons.
