  • Patent number: 11896644
    Abstract: As disclosed herein, ?-arrestin1 and ?-arrestin2 levels are highly elevated in brains of FTLD-tau patients suggesting that both ?-arrestin1 and ?-arrestin2 are elevated in the brains of patients with AD and FLTD. The current work also shows that when ?-arrestin2 is overexpressed, tau levels become elevated. The data indicate that ?-arrestin2 reduces tau clearance by impairing p62-mediated autophagy, a role carried out by the oligomerized form of ?-arrestin2. Therefore, disclosed herein are ?-arrestin oligomerization inhibitors that can be used to prevent ?-arrestin oligomerization and therefore the accumulation of tau in cells, i.e. tauopathy. Also disclosed are methods of treating a tauopathy in a subject that involve administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a ?-arrestin oligomerization inhibitor disclosed herein.
