The fibril formation inhibitors studied are ligands that resemble to the natural ligand T4 but more efficient in binding TTR, leading to a decrease of the amyloidogenic potential. The first potent amyloid inhibitors developed were non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID), such as flufenamic acid ([[1bm7]]), resveratrol ([[1dvs]]), diclofenac ([[1dvx]]), flurbiprofen ([[1dvt]]), indomethacin, diflunisal, meclofenamic acid, mefenamic acid, or fenoprofen. | The fibril formation inhibitors studied are ligands that resemble to the natural ligand T4 but more efficient in binding TTR, leading to a decrease of the amyloidogenic potential.
