The inhibitory effects of different curcuminoids on β-amyloid protein, β-amyloid precursor protein and β-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 1 in swAPP HEK293 cells.

Abstract excerpt

The hallmark of Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the accumulation of β-amyloid protein (Aβ). Aβ is generated from the β-amyloid precursor protein (APP) through the proteolysis of β-site APP cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1) and γ-secretase. Aβ(42) isoform is more easily aggregate and more toxic to neurons than any other Aβ isoforms, thus being regarded as the primary toxic specie in AD. Curcumin mix has potent...
