Alzheimer's disease (AD) presents a pressing global health challenge, with amyloid-β (Aβ) accumulation in the brain being a hallmark feature. While monoclonal antibodies targeting Aβ have shown cognitive benefits, safety concerns remain. Here, we introduce the Amytrapper catheter, a novel extracorporeal device developed by Recombinant Technologies to trap circulating Aβ using a retro-inverso peptide conjugated to polyethylene glycol. Through in vivo experiments using a rat model of AD, we demonstrate significant reductions in blood Aβ levels and behavioral improvements following Amytrapper catheter treatment. This innovative approach holds promise as a disease-modifying therapy for AD, offering a complementary strategy to existing treatments and advocating for further clinical development.
阿尔茨海默病(AD)是一项紧迫的全球健康挑战,大脑中β淀粉样蛋白(Aβ)的积累是其标志性特征。虽然靶向Aβ的单克隆抗体已显示出对认知有益,但安全性问题依然存在。在此,我们介绍Amytrapper导管,这是重组技术公司开发的一种新型体外装置,它使用与聚乙二醇偶联的反向肽来捕获循环中的Aβ。通过使用AD大鼠模型进行的体内实验,我们证明了Amytrapper导管治疗后血液中Aβ水平显著降低且行为有所改善。这种创新方法有望成为AD的疾病修饰疗法,为现有治疗提供补充策略,并倡导进一步的临床开发。
