Lilly's Enzyme Inhibitor for Alzheimer's: Worse Than Nothing Derek Lowe submits: Well, well, well. We finally have solid clinical data from a large trial of a gamma-secretase inhibitor for Alzheimer's disease. And it doesn't work. Background, for those outside the field: a hallmark of Alzheimer's is the appearance of plaques in the brain. These are insoluble clumps of a protein called amyloid-beta, surrounded by dead and dying neurons. This amyloid is split off (for some reason) from the middle of a larger precursor protein (APP), and there are two enzymes that make the cuts to release it: gamma-secretase and beta-secretase. Shutting down one or both of those has long been seen as the most direct route to keeping amyloid from accumulating, and compounds that do this have been sought for at least twenty years now.Complete Story » seekingalpha.com |
