Amyloid beta-peptide (Abeta) is a major constituent of senile plaques in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Neurotoxicity results from the conformational transition of Abeta from random-coil to beta-sheet and its oligomerization. Among a series of ionic compounds able to interact with soluble

This paper describes an efficient and reproducible screening method for identifying low molecular weight compounds that bind to amyloid beta peptides (Abeta) peptides using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Low molecular weight compounds capable of interacting with soluble Abeta may

The purpose of the present study was to determine the acute effects of the anticraving compound acamprosate (calcium acetylhomotaurinate) and the closely related compound homotaurine on ethanol intake and ethanol-stimulated dopamine release in the nucleus accumbens. Male rats were treated

No treatments have been identified to lower the risk of intracerebral hemorrhage due to cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA). A potential approach to prevention is the use of agents that interfere with the pathogenic cascade initiated by the beta-amyloid peptide (Abeta).

The benzodiazepine diazepam impairs memory and long-term potentiation (LTP) in the hippocampus. Here, we investigate the effect of diazepam on LTP of C-fiber evoked field potentials in spinal dorsal horn, which is relevant to pathological pain. LTP of C-fiber evoked
