Department of Neurobiology, Pfizer, Inc, Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA
J Pharmacol Exp Ther 312:399-406. 2005..The divergence of the present data from published reports raises the need to examine the conditions necessary to perceive selective Abeta(1-42) reduction by NSAIDs in neuronal tissue... - Diamide amino-imidazoles: a novel series of γ-secretase inhibitors for the treatment of Alzheimer's diseaseMichael A Brodney
