titleOfInvention |
Reduction of beta-amyloid levels by treatment with the small molecule differentiation-inducing factor |
abstract |
The present invention relates to novel uses for a family of small molecules, Differentiation-Inducing Factors (DIFs). It has been discovered that DIFs surprisingly can alter the metabolic processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP) and in turn reduce the level of secreted Aβ. The metabolic processing of other γ-secretase substrates normally present in cells (Notch and APLPl) is not affected when treated with DIF. The invention provides methods for reducing Aβ production in mammalian cells that express APP by administering DIF-I, DIF-2, DIF-3, a functionally equivalent analog and or any combination thereof. The invention also provides methods for treating and/or preventing Alzheimer's disease by preferentially reducing Aβ production. |
