The present invention provides a method of inducing cleavage of amyloid precursor protein to produce an approximately 17 kilodalton carboxy-terminal fragment of amyloid precursor protein in a subject, the method comprising administering a heterocyclic compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate or prodrug thereof to a subject in need thereof, wherein the approximately 17 kilodalton fragment includes the carboxyterminal amino acid sequence of amyloid precursor protein and amyloid-beta amino acid sequence. Also provided is a screening method for identifying compounds induce cleavage of amyloid precursor protein to produce the approximately 17 kilodalton carboxy-terminal fragment of amyloid precursor protein.
本发明提供了一种诱导淀粉样前体蛋白裂解以产生约17千道顿的淀粉样前体蛋白羧基末端片段的方法,其中该方法包括向需要该方法的受体中给予杂环化合物或其药学上可接受的盐、水合物或前药,其中约17千道顿的片段包括淀粉样前体蛋白羧基末端氨基酸序列和淀粉样β氨基酸序列。还提供了一种筛选诱导淀粉样前体蛋白裂解以产生约17千道顿淀粉样前体蛋白羧基末端片段的化合物的方法。
