Abstract

The peptide sequence KLVFF resembles the hydrophobic core of the Aβ peptide known to form amyloid plaques in Alzheimer’s disease. Starting from its retro-inverso peptide, we have synthesized three generations of peptidomimetics. Step by step natural amino acids have been replaced by aromatic building blocks accessible from the Pd-catalyzed Catellani reaction. The final compound 18 is stable against proteolytic decay and largely prevents the aggregation of Aβ 1–42 over extended periods of time. The activity of the new inhibitors was tested first by fluorescence correlation spectroscopy. For closer examination of compound 18, additional techniques were also applied: laser-induced liquid bead ion desorption mass spectrometry, confocal laser scanning microscopy, thioflavin T fluorescence, and gel electrophoresis. Compound 18 not only retards the aggregation of chemically synthesized Aβ but also can partially dissolve the oligomeric structures. Thioflavin binding mature fibrils, however, seem to resist the inhibitor.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • KLVFF is a peptide sequence that mimics the hydrophobic center region of Aβ and eventually replaces natural polypeptides; it is resistant to proteolytic degradation and can break down oligomerics to a limited level.

    “Another promising treatment is KLVFF, a peptide sequence that mimics the hydrophobic center region of the Aβ and eventually replaces natural polypeptides. The KLVFF compound, which is resistant to proteolytic degradation and can also break down oligomerics to a limited level, is the final compound, can also break down oligomerics to a minor amount. (Stark et al., 2017).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
