The present invention relates to methods for screening, identifying, and/or quantifying modulators of amyloid and/or aggregates, fibrils or components thereof, in particular modulators of amyloid β-peptide (Aβ) or Aβ fibrils. Aspects of the invention provide methods for screening putative modulators against an Amyloid target, in particular an Aβ target, so as to determine which modulators bind to or interact with the target, or interfere with the interaction of an indicator agent and the target. Particular aspects of the invention employ mass spectrometric methods for the screening of an Amyloid target against compound libraries, in particular mixtures of compounds or combinatorial libraries.

[EN] The present invention relates to methods for screening, identifying, and/or quantifying modulators of amyloid and/or aggregates, fibrils or components thereof, in particular modulators of amyloid ß-peptide (Aß) or Aß fibrils. Aspects of the invention provide methods for screening putatative modulators against an Amyloid target, in particular an Aß target, so as to determine which modulators bind to or interact with the target, or interefere with the interaction of an indicator agent and the target. Particular aspects of the invention employ mass spectrometric methods for the screening of an Amyloid target against compound libraries, in particular mixtures of compounds or combinatorial libraries. [FR] La présente invention concerne des procédés de criblage, d'identification et/ou de quantification de modulateurs de substances amyloïdes et/ou de leurs agrégats, de leurs fibrilles ou de leurs composants, en particulier des modulateurs de peptide ß-amyloïde (Aß) ou de fibrilles Aß. L'invention concerne des procédés de criblage de modulateurs putatifs contre une cible amyloïde, en particulier une cible Aß, de manière à déterminer quels sont les modulateurs qui se lient à la cible ou qui interagissent avec elle, ou ceux qui gênent l'interaction entre un agent indicateur et la cible. Des aspects particuliers de l'invention utilisent des procédés de spectrométrie de masse pour le criblage à la recherche d'une cible amyloïde dans des librairies de composés, en particulier des mélanges de composés ou des librairies combinatoires.
