A range of 2,5-diarylated thiophenes were synthesised as small molecule mimetics of the -helix to modulate the amyloidogenesis and cytotoxic effect of islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP). 3-Substituted thiophene-2-carboxylic acids were used as key intermediates and functionalised by palladium decarboxylative cross-coupling and direct CH activation successively with overall yields ranging from 23 to 95%. The effect of the ligands on IAPP amyloid fibril formation was evaluated with the thioflavinT (ThT) fluorescence-based assay. Furthermore, the capacity of these compounds to inhibit the cytotoxic effect of IAPP was assessed using -pancreatic cells.
