SMER28 is a small molecule modulator of autophagy, inducing autophagy independently of rapamycin in mammalian cells. SMER28, acting via an mTOR-independent mechanism, prevented the accumulation of amyloid beta peptide within these cells. SMER28 may have therapeutic potential for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and other proteinopathies.
