| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have detected lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) as a compound that promotes amyloid beta aggregation through increase of oligomerization. On the other hand, detected phthalocyanine as a nano particle that inhibits amyloid beta aggregation, which decrease hydrophobicity and beta-sheet conformational change. The compound has no toxicity to neuronal culture and rat, leading to the possibility for therapeutic application. We produced and examined the new phthalocyanine derivatives for non-invasive near infrared ray-diagnosis of Alzheimer disease (AD) because they have high affinity to amyloid beta deposited in AD brains.
