MATERIALS AND METHODS FOR PREVENTING OR TREATING NEURODEGENERATIVE CONDITIONS ASSOCIATED WITH ABETA PEPTIDE ACCUMULATION
摘要:
The subject invention concerns methods for preventing and/or treating neurodegenerative conditions associated with Abeta peptide accumulation in neural tissue in a human or animal. The subject invention also concerns methods for preventing or treating Alzheimer's disease-like neuropathology in a person or animal having trisomy 21 (Down's syndrome). In one embodiment, a method of the invention comprises administering a therapeutically effective amount of a compound that inhibits function or activity of a Raf protein to a person or animal in need of treatment. In a specific embodiment, the Raf inhibitor is Sorafenib (NEXAVAR). Neurodegenerative conditions contemplated within the scope of the present invention include, for example, Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. The subject invention also concerns methods for preventing or inhibiting neuronal cell death and/or improving cell viability.
