摘要 |
The invention provides compositions comprising protein aggregation inhibitors, and pharmaceutical compositions comprising them, and methods for making and using them, including methods for preventing, reversing, slowing or inhibiting protein aggregation, e.g., for treating diseases that are characterized by protein aggregation-including some degenerative neurological diseases such as Parkinson's disease. In one aspect, the compositions of the invention specifically target synuclein, beta-amyloid and/or tau protein aggregates, and the methods of the invention can be used to specifically prevent, reverse, slow or inhibit synuclein, beta-amyloid and/or tau protein aggregation. In alternative embodiments, the compositions and methods of the invention, are used to treat, prevent or ameliorate (including slowing the progression of) degenerative neurological diseases related to or caused by protein aggregation, e.g., synuclein, beta-amyloid and/or tau protein aggregation. In one aspect, compositions and methods of this invention are used to treat, prevent or ameliorate (including slowing the progression of) Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's Disease (AD), Lewy body disease (LBD) and Multiple system atrophy (MSA).
