The present invention relates to compounds for stabilising the native tetrameric form of transthyretin and protecting it from proteolytic cleavage; compounds for use in the prevention and treatment of transthyretin amyloidosis; and agents and medicaments comprising such compounds. The compounds are based on a general structure A-L-B, wherein A is a group of formula (II) or of formula (III): or of formula (IV) or of formula (V) B is a group of formula (III), (IV), or (V), or a group of formula (VI) or a group of formula —R10Z, wherein: Z is selected from —CO2R′, —CONR′R″, —SO2R′ wherein R′ and R″ are independently H or C1-C4 alkyl; and R10 is a C1-C4 alkylene or alkenylene group; and L represents a linker group which is a saturated or unsaturated chain of 5 to 13 carbon atoms.
