摘要:
The invention provides compounds and compositions comprising compounds that modulate histone acyl transferase (HAT). The invention further provides methods for treating neurodegenerative disorders, conditions associated with accumulated amyloid-beta peptide deposits, Tau protein levels, and/or accumulations of alpha-synuclein as well as cancer by administering a compound that modulates HAT to a subject.
摘要:
The invention provides for compounds that are phosphodiesterase inhibitors. The invention further provides for a method for screening compounds that bind to and modulate a phosphosdiesterase protein. The invention also provides methods for treating conditions associated with accumulated amyloid-beta peptide deposit accumulations by administering a phosphodiesterase-binding compound to a subject.

摘要:
The invention is directed to methods for increasing learning and memory in a subject with a neuropathological condition, specifically a condition related to elevated beta-amyloid deposition, the method comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of a compound capable of increasing the activity of Uch-L1. The invention is also directed to screening methods for identifying compounds that enhance the activity of the proteasome system, Uch-L1, or both.
摘要:
The present invention describes a dissociated cell culture system comprising cells of the hippocampus, one of the brain areas affected by Alzheimer's Disease (AD) or amyloid beta-related diseases. This culture system comprises hippocampal neuronal and glial cells from animal models of AD, particularly, but not limited to, double transgenic mice expressing both the human APP mutation (K670N:M671L) (mAPP), and the human PS1 mutation (M146L) (mPS1), and serves as a powerful tool for the screening and testing of compounds and substances, e.g., drugs, for their ability to affect, treat, or prevent AD or β-amyloid-related diseases. The effects of a test substance on the cells in this culture system can be quantitatively assessed to determine if the test substance affects the cells biochemically and/or electrophysiologically, and/or optically, and/or immunocytochemically. The present in vitro culture system is advantageous for AD drug screening, because it is rapid and efficient. By contrast, even in the fastest animal model of AD, pathology does not start before the end of the second month. If such in vivo animal models are used, it is necessary to wait at least the two month time duration or longer to test for drug efficacy for AD treatment or prevention. At the same time the present invention provides a tool for production of amyloid-beta that can be used for electrophysiological, behavioral, and toxicological studies.
