The present invention relates to methods of treatment of clinical disorders associated with protein aggregation comprising administering, to a subject, an effective amount of an anti-protein aggregate (“APA”) compound selected from the group consisting of pimozide, fluphenazine (e.g., fluphenazine hydrochloride), tamoxifen (e.g., tamoxifen citrate), taxol, cantharidin, cantharidic acid, salts thereof and their structurally related compounds. It is based, at least in part, on the discovery that each of the aforelisted compounds were able to promote degradation of aggregated ATZ protein in a
Caenorhabditis elegans
model system. According to the invention, treatment with one or more of these APA compounds may be used to ameliorate the symptoms and signs of AT deficiency as well as other disorders marked by protein aggregation, including, but not limited to, Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, and Huntington's Disease.
本发明涉及与蛋白质聚集相关的临床疾病的治疗方法,包括向受试者施用来自以下组中选择的抗蛋白质聚集(“APA”)化合物的有效量:哌唑酮,氟哌利多(例如氟哌利多盐酸盐),他莫昔芬(例如他莫昔芬柠檬酸盐),紫杉醇,蝉蜕素,蝉酸及其盐和结构相关化合物。本发明至少部分基于以下发现:上述每种化合物均能促进Caenorhabditis elegans模型系统中聚集的ATZ蛋白的降解。根据本发明,使用这些APA化合物之一或多个进行治疗,可用于缓解AT缺陷以及其他由蛋白质聚集标记的疾病的症状和体征,包括但不限于阿尔茨海默病、帕金森病和亨廷顿病。
