The senile plaques of neurotoxic aggregates Aβ protein, deposited extraneuronally, mark the pathological hallmark Alzheimer's disease (AD). natural compounds such as omega-3 (ω-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), which can access blood–brain barrier, are believed to be potential disruptors preformed fibrils cure AD with unknown mechanism. Herein, we present destabilization three ω-3 PUFAs, viz. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), Docosahexaenoic (HXA), and α-linolenic (LNL) by molecular...
