Research Abstract |
The substances for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, which decreased Aβ levels, were screened from clinically approved drugs. We identified KM2309 (code name, because of patent application). It inhibited γ-secretase and up-regulated a major Aβ-degrading enzyme neprilysin. Since it has been reported that KM2309 crosses the BBB and it has neuronal protective effect, KM2309 would be a novel drug candidate with safety for Alzheimer's disease.
