| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
With the progress of super aging society, diseases caused by deposition of amyloid fibrils are becoming a social problem. In this study, I focused on phenylpropanoids that are widely distributed in nature, and tried to create novel active compounds linked with sugar chains or fatty acid chains of different chain length and hydrophobicity. And then, structure-function relationship was investigated to enhance their anti-amyloidal activities. For measurement of anti-amyloidal activity, amyloidgenic peptide-linked quantum dots was used as a probe. In addition, experiments using drosophila and nematode were also conducted. As a result, ferulic acid ester and caffeic acid ester synthesized by lipase were proposed as a novel anti-amyloidal compound.
