The present invention relates in general to an inhibitor of a glutaminyl peptide cyclotransferase-like protein (QPCTL), and the use thereof for the treatment and/or prevention of an inflammatory disease or disorder selected from the group consisting of (a) chronic and acute inflammations, e.g. rheumatoid arthritis, atherosclerosis, restenosis, pancreatitis; (b) other inflammatory diseases, e.g. neuropathic pain, graft rejection/graft failure/graft vasculopathy, HIV infections/AIDS, gestosis, tuberous sclerosis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, chronic inflammatory demyelinising polyradiculoneuropathy and multiple sclerosis; (c) neuroinflammation; and (d) neurodegenerative diseases, e.g. mild cognitive impairment (MCI), Alzheimer's disease, neurodegeneration in Down Syndrome, Familial British Dementia, and Familial Danish Dementia, which may result from neuroinflammation.
本发明涉及一种谷
氨酰肽环转移酶类似蛋白(Q
PCTL)的
抑制剂及其用于治疗和/或预防从以下疾病或障碍中选择的炎症性疾病或障碍的使用:(a)慢性和急性炎症,例如类风湿性关节炎,动脉硬化,再狭窄,胰腺炎;(b)其他炎症性疾病,例如神经病性疼痛,移植排斥/移植失败/移植血管病,HIV感染/艾滋病,妊娠高血压综合症,结节性硬化,格林-巴利综合症,慢性炎性
脱髓鞘性多发性神经根神经病和多发性硬化症;(c)神经炎症;以及(d)神经退行性疾病,例如轻度认知障碍(
MCI),阿尔茨海默病,唐氏综合症中的神经退行性变,英国家族痴呆症和丹麦家族痴呆症,这些疾病可能是由神经炎症引起的。
