This invention relates to a novel method of screening for inhibitors of beta-amyloid production, and thereby identifying such inhibitors as therapeutics for neurological and other disorders involving APP processing and beta-amyloid production. This invention also relates to identifying macromolecules involved in APP processing and beta-amyloid production. Furthermore, inhibitors identified by the screening method of the present invention are useful in the treatment of neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease, which involve elevated levels of Aβ peptides.
本发明涉及一种筛选β-淀粉样蛋白生成抑制剂的新方法,从而确定这种抑制剂作为治疗涉及APP加工和β-淀粉样蛋白生成的神经系统疾病和其他疾病的药物。本发明还涉及鉴定参与 APP 处理和 beta- 淀粉样蛋白生成的大分子。此外,通过本发明的筛选方法鉴定的抑制剂可用于治疗神经系统疾病,如阿尔茨海默氏症,这种疾病涉及 Aβ 肽水平的升高。
