Application

EC Number Application Comment Organism
3.4.22.1 medicine cathepsin B inhibitors are effective therapeutic agents in treatment of Alzheimer's disease reducing the amyloid beta plaque load in brain regions by up to 55%, reducing the formation of amyloid beta 40 and amyloid beta 42 by 45% and 40%, and improving the memory function, overview Mus musculus
3.4.23.46 pharmacology treatment of London APP transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer's disease that expresses human amyloid precursor protein containing the wild-type beta-secretase site with inhibitors CA074Me or E64d results in substantial improvement in memory deficit assessed by the Morris water maze test. Improved memory function is accompanied by reduced amyloid plaque load, decreased amyloid beta40 and amyloid beta42, and reduced C-terminal beta-secretase fragment derived from amyloid precursor protein by beta-secretase. Inhibitor hHas no effects on any of these parameters in mice expressing the Swedish mutant beta-secretase site of amyloid precursor protein Mus musculus
