METHOD OF SCREENING FOR COMPOUNDS WITH ANTI-AMYLOID PROPERTIES

摘要

The invention relates to a method of screening for compounds with anti-amyloid properties. The method of screening for compounds which have the ability to dissociate or prevent high-affinity complexes between ß-amyloid peptides and nicotinic acetylcholine receptors of human cortex tissues makes it possible to rapidly identify compounds for use in the curative and/or preventive treatment of neurodegenerative diseases and of Alzheimer's disease in particular.
