The invention concerns screening molecules with anti-prion activity. More particularly, it concerns kits for screening molecules with anti-prion activity characterized in that they comprise in combination a [PSI+], phenotype yeast, an antibiogram and an agent for purifying prions at sub-efficient doses, said yeast including the adel-14 allele of the ADE1 gene and an inactivated ERG6 gene, the screening methods, and a family of molecules with anti-prion activity isolated by the inventive screen. The invention is applicable to anti-prion agents for producing medicines in particular for treating neurodegenerative diseases involving protein aggregates.
