Abstract

Aggregation of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides is a crucial step in the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Identifying aggregation inhibitors against AD has been a great challenge. We report an atomistic simulation study of the inhibition mechanism of two small molecules, homotaurine and -inositol, which are AD drug candidates currently under investigation. We show that both small molecules promote a conformational change of the Aβ42 monomer toward a more collapsed phase through a nonspecific binding mechanism. This finding provides atomistic-level insights into designing potential drug candidates for future AD treatments.

摘要

淀粉样蛋白-β (Aβ) 肽的聚集是阿尔茨海默病 (AD) 进展的关键步骤。鉴定针对 AD 的聚集抑制剂一直是一个巨大的挑战。我们报告了两种小分子,即同型牛磺酸和肌醇,的抑制机制的原子模拟研究,它们是目前正在研究的 AD 药物候选物。我们表明,这两种小分子通过非特异性结合机制促进 Aβ42 单体向更折叠的相的构象变化。这一发现为设计未来 AD 治疗的潜在药物候选物提供了原子水平的见解。
