Presuming that the long form of the aquaporin-4 protein increases waste clearance, the researchers screened over 2,560 compounds to determine, which of them might increase aquaporin's readthrough. However, they found only two. One was sulphaquinoxaline, an antibiotic commonly used in the meat and poultry industry while the other was apigenin, a component found in chamomile, parsley, onions, and other plants.The researchers then tested these two compounds for their ability to clear beta amyloids from the brains of mice genetically modified to have high protein levels.
