α-Synuclein (61-75) is a peptide fragment derived from the larger protein α-Synuclein. α-Synuclein is predominantly found in presynaptic nerve terminals and is considered to be a biomarker candidate for Parkinson's disease (PD).
CLR01 is a molecular tweezer. CLR01 reduces aggregated, pathologic, and seeding-competent α-synuclein in experimental multiple system atrophy. CLR01 inhibits aberrant superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) self-assembly in vitro and in the G93A-SOD1 mouse model of ALS. CLR01 inhibits Ebola and Zika virus infection. CLR01 Stabilizes a Disordered Protein-Protein Interface. CLR01, Modulates Aggregation of the Mutant p53 DNA Binding Domain and Inhibits Its Toxicity.
α-Synuclein inhibitor 3 (Compound 7g) is a potent inhibitor of α-synuclein (α -Syn) aggregation. It has potential applications in Parkinson's disease research [1].
PBT434 is a novel, brain-penetrant, small molecule inhibitor of α-synuclein aggregation. In transgenic animal models of Parkinson disease (A53T) and MSA (PLP-α-Syn), PBT434 reduced α-synuclein aggregation, preserved neurons and improved motor function. Glial cell inclusions were also reduced in a murine MSA model. PBT434 is thought to act by redistributing reactive iron across membranes, thereby blocking intracellular protein aggregation and oxidative stress. The affinity of PBT434 for iron is greater than that of α-synuclein but lower than that of iron trafficking proteins, e.g., ferritin.
tau Protein α-synuclein-IN-2 (Compound 14T) 是一种可以穿透血脑屏障的tau和α-syn抑制剂。tau Protein α-synuclein-IN-2 通过硫脲连接子结构以剂量依赖方式减少α-syn的寡聚。该化合物在生物传感器细胞中阻止tau聚集的种子效应,并在M17D神经母细胞瘤模型中显示出抗包涵体效应。此外,tau Protein α-synuclein-IN-2 能够抑制Aβ斑块的形成,展示了其在阿尔茨海默病和帕金森病研究中的潜力。
