Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Amyloid-β peptide (Aβ) species of 42 or 43 amino acids in length (Aβ42/43) trigger Alzheimer´s disease (AD) and are produced in abnormal amounts by mutants of the γ-secretase subunit presenilin-1 (PS1), which represent the primary cause of familial AD (FAD). Lowering these peptides by γ-secretase modulators (GSMs) is increasingly considered a safe strategy to treat AD since these compounds do not...
