Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a chronic, progressive, and fatal neurodegenerative disorder affecting cognition, behavior, and function, being one of the most common causes of mental deterioration in elderly people. Once thought as being
just developed because of β amyloid depositions or neurofibrillary Tau tangles, during the last decades, numerous ADrelated targets have been established, the multifactorial nature of AD became evident. In this context, the one drug-one target paradigm has resulted to be inefficient in facing AD and other disorders with complex etiology, opening the field for the
emergence of the multitarget approach. In this review, we highlight the recent advances within this area, emphasizing in hybridization tools of well-known chemical scaffolds endowed with pharmacological properties concerning AD, such as curcumin-, resveratrol-, chromone- and indole-. We focus mainly on well stablished and incipient AD therapeutic targets,
AChE, BuChE, MAOs, β-amyloid deposition, 5-HT4 and Serotonin transporter, with the aim to shed light about new insights
in the AD multitarget therapy.
