One aspect of the invention relates to a method of treating or preventing a neurodegenerative disease, comprising the step of administering to a patient in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of an inhibitor of the formation of advanced glycation end products. Another aspect of the invention relates to a proteasome activity-based screening assay to select compounds which may be useful for treating or preventing a neurodegenerative disease, and the materials used therein. Yet another aspect of the invention relates to molecules, and methods of use thereof, which bind at or adjacent to SOD-1 Trp32, including molecules that bind in a site adjacent to SOD-1 Trp32 whether or not it is oxidized, for treating or preventing neurodegenerative disease.
本发明的一个方面涉及一种治疗或预防神经退行性疾病的方法,包括向有需要的患者施用治疗有效量的高级糖化终产物形成抑制剂。本发明的另一个方面涉及一种基于蛋白酶体活性的筛选试验,用于选择可能有助于治疗或预防神经退行性疾病的化合物及其所用材料。本发明的另一个方面涉及在SOD-1 Trp32处或其邻近部位结合的分子及其使用方法,包括在SOD-1 Trp32邻近部位结合的分子,无论其是否被氧化,用于治疗或预防神经退行性疾病。
