The LRRK2-T2352 also showed a trend for conversion to Alzheimer's disease, with the patients with CC genotype tending to progress to Alzheimer's disease. Similar to the APOE-E4 allele, in the presence of a BuChE-K variant, LRRK2-T1602S and LRRK2-T2352 showed a greater association with the rate of conversion from mild cognitive impairment to Alzheimer's disease. In another study with placebo-treated Alzheimer's disease patients, LRRK2-T1602S and LRRK2-T2352 showed a same trend of association. The Alzheimer's disease patients with TT genotype of LRRK2-T1602S or CC genotype of LRRK2-T2352 tended to decline faster on cognitive performance over 6 months, especially in the presence of a BuChE-K variant.

The 4-protected hydroxyl pyroglutamic acid derivative is easy to produce from hydroxyproline. The 4-protected hydroxyl pyroglutamic acid derivative is particularly suitable for use in the efficient manufacture of monatin of high optical purity, since it can be alkylated selectively at the 4-position and stereoselectively and after its alkylation, it can easily be converted to a glutamic acid derivative.
