STRUCTURE-BASED PEPTIDE INHIBITORS OF ALPHA-SYNUCLEIN AGGREGATION.

摘要

This invention relates to inhibitory peptides which bind to a-synuclein molecules and inhibit a-synuclein amyloidogenic aggregation, a-synuclein cytotoxicity, and spread of a-synuclein. Methods of making and using the inhibitory peptides (e.g. to treat subjects having conditions or diseases that are mediated by a-synuclein, such as Parkinson's disease, dementia with Lewy bodies, or MSA) are described.
