Homotaurine 是一种具有口服活性的、可透过血脑屏障的天然氨基酸，存在于各种红色海藻中，能够可溶性 Aβ 结合并以非原纤维形式维持 Aβ。它是一种 GABA 类似物，具有神经保护，抗惊厥和抗高血压的活性。

Because of its similarity in structure to the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), it has GABAergic effects and may be useful as an anticonvulsant. Homotaurine has also been investigated as a potential treatment for Alzheimer's disease. It binds to soluble amyloid beta and inhibits the formation of neurotoxic aggregates that lead to amyloid plaque deposition in the brain. However, clinical trials failed to show improvement compared to placebo.
