The invention relates to compositions and methods for treating nervous disorders. More particularly, the invention relates to methods of treating amyloÊd beta peptide-related disorders, particularly Alzheimer's disease, using Rac1 inhibitors. The invention may be used in mammalian subjects, particularly human subjects, at various stages of the disease, including disease onset. The invention also provides methods of producing, identifying, selecting or optimising compounds for use in the treatment of amyloÊd beta peptide-related disorders, based on a determination of the ability of a test compound to inhibit Rac 1 . |
