Multivalent inhibitors of serum amyloid P component

摘要

Novel glycerol cyclic pyruvate derivates were prepared and demonstrated to inhibit the binding of an immobilized D-proline derivative to serum amyloid P component (SAP) have been prepared. As such, the compounds of the invention are useful for treating amyloidosis and diseases associated with amyloidosis, for example Alzheimer&supl;s disease and maturity onset diabetes mellitus.
