摘要:
The present invention relates to compounds that show a positive result in a phosphatase activation assay with protein phosphatase 5 according to the invention, to compounds that bind in an in vitro binding assay to a certain region of the amino acid sequence of protein phosphatase 5, as well as to compounds that show a positive result in a phosphatase activation assay with protein phosphatase 5 according to the invention and bind in an in vitro binding assay to a certain region of the amino acid sequence of protein phosphatase 5. The present invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising one or more of such compounds, to methods of using such a compound, and to methods of screening for compounds that activate protein phosphatase 5.
摘要:
The invention relates to a cyclic lipopeptide antibiotic compound, or derivative and/or salt thereof, for use in the treatment and/or prevention of a medical condition associated with protein aggregation, preferably amyloidosis. The invention further relates to the compound comprising 5 to 20 amino acids, 3 or more non-proteinogenic amino acids, 5 or more amino acids with a side chain comprising an aromatic ring, one to four cyclic structures, and at least one amino acid is substituted with a hydrophobic moiety. In another preferred embodiment the treatment comprises binding of the compound to a protein and inhibiting protein aggregate formation and/or fibril elongation and/or inhibition of association between monomers of aggregating proteins, inhibition of protein oligomerization, inhibition of protein condensation, inhibition of secondary nucleation processes in fibril formation, such as disrupting replication of aggregate formation on the surface of an existing fibril, and/or inhibition of fibril elongation by capping fibril ends.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a peptide or collection of peptides derived from amyloid precursor protein (APP). The present invention also relates to uses of such peptide or collection of peptides, in particular as a diagnostic marker and/or as a drug target.
摘要:
The invention is based on the detection of microRNA (miR) in biological samples derived from subjects for assessing a risk that the subject develops a neurological and / or neuropsychological condition. The invention in particular detects the presence or absence and the amount of microRNA-181a-5p, microRNA146a-5p and/or microRNA148a-3p in such samples, which are shown by the invention to be associated with the neurological and / or neuropsychological condition. In addition, the invention provides a therapeutic application for the treatment of the neurological and / or neuropsychological condition by modulating the expression/function of these miR.
