The Anti-Amyloidogenic Action of Doxycycline: A Molecular Dynamics Study on the Interaction with Aβ42
19 Sept 2019
Abstract excerpt
The pathological aggregation of amyloidogenic proteins is a hallmark of many neurological diseases, including Alzheimer's disease and prion diseases. We have shown both in vitro and in vivo that doxycycline can inhibit the aggregation of Aβ42 amyloid fibrils and disassemble mature amyloid fibrils. However, the molecular mechanisms of the drug's anti-amyloidogenic property are not understood. In this study, a...
