Inhibition of Amyloid β Protein Fibrillation by Polymeric Nanoparticles

open access: yesJournal of the American Chemical Society, 2008
Copolymeric NiPAM:BAM nanoparticles of varying hydrophobicity were found to retard fibrillation of the Alzheimer's disease-associated amyloid beta protein (Abeta). We found that these nanoparticles affect mainly the nucleation step of Abeta fibrillation.

Implications of excluded volume for chemical inhibition of protein fibrillation

Biochimica Et Biophysica Acta - General Subjects, 2020
Two quantitative models for the effect of high total macromolecular volume occupancy ('macromolecular crowding') upon the chemical inhibition of protein fibrillation are presented. The first assumes that fibrillation is reversible, and the second assumes that fibrillation is irreversible.

Inhibiting ice recrystallization by amyloid protein fibrils

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2023
Ice recrystallization is harmful to the quality of frozen foods and the cryopreservation of cells and biological tissues, requiring biocompatible materials with ice recrystallization inhibition (IRI) activity. Emerging studies have associated IRI activity with amphiphilic structures.

Inhibition of mitochondrial translocator protein prevents atrial fibrillation

European Journal of Pharmacology, 2010
Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice. It can cause severe complications such as congestive heart failure and stroke. However, identification of prime targets for efficient therapeutic intervention remains a challenge.

Inhibition of Amyloid Peptide Fibrillation by Inorganic Nanoparticles: Functional Similarities with Proteins† [PDF]

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie - International Edition, 2011
Aggregation of amyloid-β peptides (Aβ) into fibrils is the key pathological feature of many neurodegenerative disorders. Typical drugs inhibit Aβ fibrillation by binding to monomers in 1:1 ratio and display low efficacy. Here, we report that model CdTe nanoparticles (NPs) can efficiently prevent fibrillation of Aβ associating with 100–330 monomers at ...

Dual Effect of the Acidic Polysaccharose Ulvan on the Inhibition of Amyloid-β Protein Fibrillation and Disintegration of Mature Fibrils

ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2020
The abnormal folding and aggregation of amyloid-β protein (Aβ) is the main reason for the occurrence and development of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The discovery of novel inhibitors against Aβ aggregation is still the current research focus. Herein, we report the inhibitory effect of ulvan, an acidic polysaccharide from green algae of the genus Ulva ...

Research of the inhibition effects on the fibrillation of amyloid proteins

SCIENTIA SINICA Chimica, 2014
This review summarized different kinds of inhibitors that affect the aggregation and fibrillation of amyloid proteins. The metal complexes were optimized as potential and effective inhibitors of amyloid proteins. Moreover, the interaction systems of amyloid proteins were also generalized in the aspect of thermodynamics studies.

Gelsolin inhibits the fibrillization of amyloid beta-protein, and also defibrillizes its preformed fibrils

Brain Research, 2000
Amyloid beta-protein (Abeta) is present in soluble form in the plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of normal people and patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, in AD patients, Abeta gets fibrillized as the main constituent of amyloid plaques in the brain. Soluble synthetic Abeta also forms amyloid-like fibrils when it is allowed to age.

Walnut Extract Inhibits the Fibrillization of Amyloid Beta-Protein, and also Defibrillizes its Preformed Fibrils

Current Alzheimer Research, 2004
Fibrillar amyloid beta-protein (Abeta) is the principal component of amyloid plaques in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease. We have studied the effect of walnut extract on Abeta fibrillization by Thioflavin T fluorescence spectroscopy and electron microscopy.
