Anti-Amyloid Therapies for Alzheimer’s Disease: Progress, Pitfalls, and the Path Ahead
Anti-amyloid monoclonal antibodies have finally achieved their translational breakthrough after many years of unmet expectations. The FDA granted traditional approval to lecanemab in July 2023, and the European Medicines Agency approved it in late 2024 with specific genetic restrictions; meanwhile, donanemab received FDA approval in July 2024 and EMA ...

Anti-amyloid antibody therapies in Alzheimer’s disease
AbstractAfter years of failed attempts to develop a disease-modifying therapy for Alzheimer’s disease, consistent evidence in support of clinical efficacy was finally presented for a monoclonal antibody targeting the amyloid-β protofibrils. In addition to meeting the primary outcome of slowing clinical disease progression over 18 months, secondary ...

Modeling an Anti-Amyloid Combination Therapy for Alzheimer’s Disease [PDF]
Simultaneous reduction of two of the enzymes that create the plaque-forming peptide β-amyloid in Alzheimer’s disease ameliorates symptoms in aged mice better than elimination of either enzyme alone.

A Chemical Perspective to the Anti-Amyloid Action of Compounds and a Nanoparticle Based Assay for Screening Amyloid Inhibitors [PDF]
Aggregation of amyloid beeta 1-42 (Aβ42) peptide causes the formation of clustered deposits knows as amyloid plaques in the brain which leads to neuronal dysfunction and memory loss and associated with many neurological disorders including Alzheimer’s ...

Nonsteroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs and Ectodomain Shedding of the Amyloid Precursor Protein [PDF]
Background: Epidemiological studies have suggested that long-term use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is associated with a reduced incidence of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Destruxin E Decreases Beta-Amyloid Generation by Reducing Colocalization of Beta-Amyloid-Cleaving Enzyme 1 and Beta-Amyloid Protein Precursor [PDF]
Alzheimer-disease-associated beta-amyloid (A beta) is produced by sequential endoproteolysis of beta-amyloid protein precursor (beta APP): the extracellular portion is shed by cleavage in the juxtamembrane region by beta-amyloid-cleaving enzyme (BACE ...

IgG anti-apolipoprotein A-1 antibodies in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus are associated with disease activity and corticosteroid therapy: an observational study. [PDF]
IgG anti-apolipoprotein A-1 (IgG anti-apoA-1) antibodies are present in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and may link inflammatory disease activity and the increased risk of developing atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in ...

Amyloid and tau in the brain in sporadic Alzheimer’s disease: defining the chicken and the egg [PDF]
In the October 2013 issue of Acta Neuropathologica there were three very interesting articles on: Amyloid or tau: the chicken or the egg? In the first article, David Mann and John Hardy argued that the deposition of aggregated amyloid β (Aβ) protein in ...
