Small molecules that protect against β-amyloid-induced cytotoxicity by inhibiting aggregation of β-amyloid
摘要:
Aggregated beta-amyloid (A beta) plays crucial roles in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis, therefore blockade of Ab aggregation is considered as a potential therapeutic target. We designed and synthesized small molecules to reduce A beta-induced cytotoxicity by inhibiting A beta aggregation. The small molecules were screened via ThT, MTT, and cell-based cytotoxicity assay (A beta burden assay). Selected compounds 1c, 1d, 1e, and 1f were then investigated by evaluating their effects on cognitive impairment of acute AD mice model. Learning and memory dysfunction by injection of A beta(1-42) was recovered by administration of these molecules. Especially, 1d showed the best recovery activity in Y-maze task, object recognition task, and passive avoidance task with dose dependent manner. These results suggest that 1d has high potential as a therapeutic agent for AD. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

A method for reducing or preventing a human brain disorder relating to the presence of a pathogenic substance in cerebrospinal fluid by selecting a human for treatment as a patient and placing a proximal end of a first catheter, having at least a first lumen, in a first sub-dural location within the brain of the patient to establish open communication between the first lumen and cerebrospinal fluid of the patient. For an extended period of time, a curcumin agent selected from at least one of curcumin, a curcumin hybrid and a curcumin analog is delivered to the cerebrospinal fluid to interact with the pathogenic substance to attenuate its effect on the brain.
Novel molecules based upon hybridization of curcumin and hydroxystilbenes, such as resveratrol. It is believed that these novel molecules will have special application in treating Alzheimer's disease.
