摘要

Herein, we report a rapid in vitro assay of amyloid beta anti-aggregation reagents using gold nanoparticles as nucleation cores and optical reporters. Based on the colorimetric responses observed with the naked eye, effective anti-aggregation reagents were rapidly (<15 min) distinguished. For these reagents, conventional methods showed fewer amyloid b aggregates and an increased viability of neuroblastoma cells after treatment. We envision that our proposed method will facilitate the discovery of efficient drug components for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
