Dipeptide analogs comprising a tryptophan (Trp) moiety coupled to a beta-sheet breaker moiety derived from alpha-aminoisobutyric acid (Aib) are disclosed. The dipeptide analogs exhibit an improved performance in inhibiting amyloid fibril formation, as compared to previously described dipeptides. Compositions containing the dipeptide analogs and uses thereof in treating amyloid-associated diseases and disorders are also disclosed.
本发明揭示了一种包含色
氨酸(Trp)基团与源自α-
氨基
异丁酸(Aib)的β-折叠片断断裂基团偶联的二肽类似物。与先前描述的二肽相比,这些二肽类似物在抑制淀粉样纤维形成方面表现出更好的性能。本发明还揭示了含有这些二肽类似物的组合物以及将其用于治疗淀粉样相关疾病和疾患的用途。
