The catechol containing compounds, D-519 and D-520, prevented aggregation of tau. By contrast, non-catechol and thiazole containing compounds (D-264 and D-636) were poor inhibitors. The Bis-ANS studies revealed that the potent inhibitors bound solvent-exposed hydrophobic sites. Based on the density functional theory calculations on inhibitors tested, the compounds characterized with the high polarity and polarizability were more effective aggregation inhibitors. These findings could lead to the development of small multifun
