APOE4-TARGETED THERAPUTICS THAT INCREASE SIRT1

摘要

A link between ApoE4 allele and sirtuins expression level is identified that is believed to be associated with elevated risk for the promotion of processing of amyloid precursor protein (APP) by the non-amyloidogenic pathway in a mammal leading to elevated risk for Alzheimer's disease. Compounds are identified that upregulate sirtuins (e.g., SirT1) expression levels and appear to be useful in the treatment and/or prophylaxis of MCI and/or Alzheimer's disease.
