Prion diseases, including scrapie, are incurable neurodegenerative disorders. Some compounds can delay disease after a peripheral scrapie inoculation, but few are effective against advanced disease. Here, we tested multiple related porphyrins, but only Fe(III)meso-tetra(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphine injected into mouse brains after intracerebral scrapie inoculation substantially increased survival times.
朊病毒疾病,包括羊瘙痒症,是无法治愈的神经退行性疾病。一些化合物在外周接种羊瘙痒症后可以延缓疾病进展,但很少有化合物对晚期疾病有效。在此,我们测试了多种相关卟啉,但只有在脑内接种羊瘙痒症后注入小鼠脑内的三价铁中-四(4-磺酸苯基)卟啉能显著延长存活时间。
