Inhibition of Alzheimer amyloid β aggregation by polyvalent trehalose.
A glycopolymer carrying trehalose was found to suppress the formation of amyloid fibrils from the amyloid β peptide (1-42) (Aβ), as evaluated by thioflavin T assay and atomic force microscopy. Glycopolymers carrying sugar alcohols also changed the aggregation properties of Aβ, and the inhibitory effect depended on the type of sugar and alkyl side chain. Neutralization activity was confirmed by ...
متن کاملInhibition of Alzheimer's disease β-amyloid aggregation, neurotoxicity, and in vivo deposition by nitrophenols: implications for Alzheimer's therapy.
SPECIFIC AIMS We have examined the hypothesis that small molecular weight compounds capable of inhibiting the aggregation of the beta-amyloid peptide (Aβ) could protect neurons from the toxic effect of Aβ and prevent cerebral amyloid deposition. The anti-aggregating and neuroprotective effects of nitrophenols were investigated in vitro using primary cultures of rat hippocampal neurons, and the ...
متن کاملSelective inhibition of PCAF suppresses microglial-mediated β-amyloid neurotoxicity.
Recent studies have emphasized the functional role of the P300/CBP-associated factor (PCAF) enzyme in resistance to β-amyloid (Aβ)-mediated neurotoxicity; however, the underlying mechanisms through which PCAF regulates inflammation and neurotoxicity have not yet been elucidated. In this study, we used computer-based molecular docking simulations to perform structure-based artificial screening f...
متن کاملNeurotoxicity of amyloid β-protein: synaptic and network dysfunction.
Evidence for an ever-expanding variety of molecular mediators of amyloid β-protein neurotoxicity (membrane lipids, receptor proteins, channel proteins, second messengers and related signaling cascades, cytoskeletal proteins, inflammatory mediators, etc.) has led to the notion that the binding of hydrophobic Aβ assemblies to cellular membranes triggers multiple effects affecting diverse pathways...
متن کاملApple Procyanidins Suppress Amyloid β-Protein Aggregation
Procyanidins (PCs) are major components of the apple polyphenols (APs). We previously reported that treatment with PC extended the mean lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans (Sunagawa et al., 2011). In order to estimate the neuroprotective effects of PC, we investigated the antiaggregative activity of PC on amyloid β-protein (Aβ) aggregation, which is a pathological hallmark of Alzheimer's disease...
