Abstract
A purpose-designed porphyrin–peptide hybrid effectively degraded amyloid β monomer and oligomers associated with Alzheimer's disease. Degradation was achieved using light irradiation in the absence of any additives and under neutral conditions. Moreover, the hybrid effectively neutralized the cytotoxicity of amyloid β in PC12 cells upon photoirradiation.
