Provided is a method of increasing the stability of wild-type β-glucocerebrosidase. Also provided are methods of treating and/or preventing an individual having a neurological disease in which increased expression or activity of β-glucocerebrosidase in the central nervous system would be beneficial. This method comprises administering an effective amount of a pharmacologic chaperone for β-glucocerebrosidase, with the proviso that the individual does not have a mutation in the gene encoding β-glucocerebrosidase. Further provided are β-glucocerebrosidase inhibitors which have been identified as specific pharmacologic chaperones and which have been shown to increase activity of β-glucocerebrosidase in vivo in the central nervous system.
本文提供了一种提高野生型β-葡糖脑苷脂稳定性的方法。还提供了治疗和/或预防神经系统疾病患者的方法,在这种疾病中,增加中枢神经系统中β-葡糖脑苷脂的表达或活性是有益的。该方法包括施用有效量的β-葡糖脑苷脂药理伴侣,但前提是个体没有β-葡糖脑苷脂编码基因的突变。此外,还提供了β-葡糖脑抑制剂,这些抑制剂已被确定为特异性药理合剂,并已被证明能提高β-葡糖脑在体内中枢神经系统中的活性。
