  • A positive amyloid biomarker (PET scan) indicative of AD pathology,
  • Mini-mental-state examination (MMSE) score of 20 or greater,
  • Free and cued selective reminding test (FCSRT) cueing index score of less than or equal to 0.79, OR a free recall of less than or equal to 17.
  • Clinical Dementia Rating (CDR) global score of 0.5 or 1.0.

  • 2. History of QTc-induced prolongation and willingness to limit use of over-the- counter, or prescription medicines (e.g. anti-histamines) known to prolong QTc interval. Corrected QT interval using Bazett's formula (QTcB) interval > 490 msec for males, or 500 msec for females, as detected by ECG and confirmed by physician. Participants who have a history of QTc-induced prolongation and are unwilling to limit use of medication will be excluded.

  • b. Symptomatic congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association > Class II)
  • c. Unstable angina
  • d. Unstable atrial fibrillation including paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Medicated, stable atrial fibrillation will be assessed by the study doctor on a case-by-case basis.
  • e. Frequent multifocal ventricular arrhythmia
  • 4. Unable to swallow oral medications.
  • 5. Gastrointestinal conditions that, in the opinion of the Investigator, could affect the absorption of study drug.

  • 12. Major surgery is planned during the conduct of the trial, or a clinical event has occurred in the six months preceding study inclusion that may compromise ability to participate for the duration of the study,
  • 13. Evidence of stroke where the clinical effects are clearly temporally related to the onset of cognitive impairment.
  • 14. Current diagnosis with a psychiatric disorder, or taking psychotropic medications,
  • 15. Other excluded medications will be those that are;
  • Specifically contraindicated with Probucol, based on historic clinical indications for the treatment of cardiovascular disease. Stable use (for at least 3 months) of cholinesterase inhibitors and memantine will be allowed.
  • Patients on high dose loop-diuretics or thiazide diuretic medications, will be excluded if taking maximum dose of furosemide or Bendroflumethiazide
  • 16. Self-reported human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1 or HIV-2), hepatitis B (HBsAg) or hepatitis C virus (HCV).
  • 17. Any inflammatory or chronic pain condition that necessitates regular use of opiates/opioids,
  • 18. Major surgery within 28 days of Cycle 1, Day 1, or minor surgical procedures within 7 days of Cycle 1, Da
