Abstract

A review. The authors review the investigations reported in the past decade that illustrate the ability of medicinal chemists to design multi-target-directed ligands (MTDLs) to confront neurodegenerative diseases. The authors briefly illustrate the multifactorial nature of these diseases before discussing the possible development of MTDLs in light of the known mol. bases of the main neurodegenerative pathologies.
