The present invention provides methods that can be used to identify .beta.-amyloid reducing compounds. The present invention is based on the use of organotypic brain slice culturing methods to simultaneously assess the toxicity and .beta.-amyloid reducing activity of a test compound.

A invenção atual fornece os métodos que podem ser usados identificar compostos se reduzindo do beta.-beta.-amyloid. A invenção atual é baseada no uso da fatia organotypic do cérebro que cultiva métodos para avaliar simultaneamente a atividade reduzindo-se do toxicity e do beta.-beta.-amyloid de um composto do teste.
