Comparative in vitro and ex vivo activities of selected inhibitors of transthyretin aggregation: relevance in drug design.

Abstract excerpt

Destabilization of the tetrameric fold of TTR (transthyretin) is important for aggregation of the protein which culminates in amyloid fibril formation. Many TTR mutations interfere with tetramer stability, increasing the amyloidogenic potential of the protein. The vast majority of proposed TTR fibrillogenesis inhibitors are based on in vitro assays with isolated protein, limiting their future use in clinical...
