  • Peptides and pharmaceutical compositions thereof for treatment of disorders or diseases associated with abnormal protein folding into amyloid or amyloid-like deposits
    Publication number: 20030087407
    Abstract: Novel peptides capable of interacting with a hydrophobic &bgr;-sheet forming cluster of amino acid residues on a protein or peptide for amyloid or amyloid-like deposit formation inhibit and structurally block the abnormal folding of proteins and peptides into amyloid or amyloid-like deposits and into pathological &bgr;-sheet-rich conformation as precursors thereof. Methods for preventing, treating or detecting disorders or diseases associated with amyloid-like fibril deposits, such as Alzheimer's disease and prion-related encephalopathies, are also provided.
    Type: Application
    Filed: September 6, 2002
    Publication date: May 8, 2003
    Applicant: New York University
    Inventors: Claudio Soto-Jara, Marc H. Baumann, Blas Frangione
