Alzheimer: Molekül verhindert Bildung von Plaques

Cambridge (ddp). Australische Forscher haben mit einem speziellen
Trägermolekül bei Experimenten mit Mäusen typische Symptome von
Alzheimer erfolgreich behandelt. Das Trägermolekül gleicht den Haushalt
bestimmter Metallionen im Gehirn aus und hemmt...

Molekül klaut Alzheimer-Protein die Metalle

[...]
Bei den damit behandelten Mäusen reduzierten sich in kurzer Zeit sowohl
die typischen Gehirnschäden als auch die Symptome von Alzheimer, wie Lern-
und Gedächtnisdefizite.

Summary
As a disease-modifying approach for Alzheimer's disease (AD), clioquinol
(CQ) targets -amyloid (A) reactions with synaptic Zn and Cu yet promotes
metal uptake. Here we characterize the second-generation 8-hydroxy
quinoline analog PBT2, which also targets metal-induced aggregation of A,
but is more effective as a Zn/Cu ionophore and has greater blood-brain
barrier permeability. Given orally to two types of amyloid-bearing
transgenic mouse models of AD, PBT2 outperformed CQ by markedly decreasing
soluble interstitial brain A within hours and improving cognitive
performance to exceed that of normal littermate controls within days.
Nontransgenic mice were unaffected by PBT2. The current data demonstrate
that ionophore activity, inhibition of in vitro metal-mediated A
reactions, and blood-brain barrier permeability are indices that predict a
potential disease-modifying drug for AD. The speed of recovery of the
animals underscores the acutely reversible nature of the cognitive
deficits associated with transgenic models of AD.
