The development of small molecules that can modulate the damaging effects of protein aggregation processes remains a high priority goal in contemporary medicinal chemistry.[1] An important class of these aggregates, called amyloids, has been implicated in numerous degenerative diseases including Alzheimer’s, type II diabetes, senile systemic amyloidosis (SSA), prion diseases and rheumatoid arthritis. The attribute shared by these symptomatically unrelated diseases is that a normally soluble protein undergoes a conformational change resulting in self-assembly into cytotoxic forms culminating in a βsheet rich fibrillar structure. Islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP), or amylin, is one such protein that has been implicated in amyloidogenesis in type II diabetes.[2] IAPP is cosecreted with insulin by the β-cells of the islets of Langerhans and an aggregated form of IAPP is believed to play a role in β-cell toxicity in the pathology of type II diabetes.[3]Amyloid forming processes proceed via a nucleation dependent reaction mechanism. The structural and energetic basis for nucleation is, however, poorly understood.[5] For IAPP, Miranker and coworkers [6] have proposed a possible mechanism where nucleation is initiated by binding of IAPP to cell membranes via contacts mediated by residues 1-20
