Amyloid Plaque As A Target For Therapeutics That Function By Blocking Or Disrupting Chitin Synthesis Or Activity

US Patent:

2004019, Sep 30, 2004

Filed:

Mar 8, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/795652

Inventors:

Rawle Hollingsworth - Haslett MI, US
Birgit Zipser - East Lansing MI, US
Linjuan Huang - East Lansing MI, US

Assignee:

Board of Trustees of Michigan State University - East Lansing MI

International Classification:

A61K031/722

US Classification:

Abstract:

Chitin has been discovered to accumulate in the diseased tissue of mammals, including humans, afflicted with a disease characterized by formation of congo red-staining plaques. Such diseases include Alzheimer's disease, spongiform encepalopathies, type II diabetes, atrial amyloidosis, and the like. A method for detecting the chitin in the mammal is described which is useful for diagnosing disease caused by accumulation of the chitin or amyloid plaques comprising chitin in tissue. Further described is a method for treating a disease in the mammal caused by the accumulation of chitin or amyloid plaques comprising chitin by administering a composition which inhibits formation of the chitin or degrades the chitin.
