Comment: Tarenflurbil or R-flurbiprofen, is the single enantiomer of the racemate NSAID flurbiprofen. Research and trials for Alzheimer's disease were conducted by Myriad Genetics but the company discontinued development in 2008. This compound is the archetypal γ-secretase modulator (GSM) that blocks γ-secretase cleavage of amyloid-β protein precursor (AβPP) to generate the longer, 42-residue amyloid-β (Aβ42) without changing the production of total Aβ (e.g. CHF5074) [2].
