Sulfonamide Inhibitors of Amyloid Aggregation: A Promising Path against Neurodegenerative Diseases.
Protein amyloid aggregation is a critical pathological process implicated in nearly 50 amyloid-related diseases, including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. This review highlights the potential of sulfonamides, a versatile class of compounds recognized for their diverse pharmacological properties, as modulators of protein aggregation. We provide an overview of studies examining the efficacy of sulfonamide derivatives in inhibiting the aggregation of various amyloidogenic proteins, including amyloid-beta, tau, alpha-synuclein, insulin, and transthyretin. In vitro assays, such as Thioflavin T fluorescence and high-resolution imaging techniques, have shown that certain sulfonamides can significantly inhibit fibril formation and promote the stabilization of non-aggregated protein states. The potential for sulfonamides to serve as multi-target agents offers new avenues for therapeutic development. By integrating findings from current research, we support a proposal that sulfonamide-based compounds could play a pivotal role in addressing the multifaceted nature of amyloid-related neurodegenerative diseases, paving the way for innovative therapeutic strategies.
期刊介绍:
Quality research. Outstanding publications. With an impact factor of 3.124 (2019), ChemMedChem is a top journal for research at the interface of chemistry, biology and medicine. It is published on behalf of Chemistry Europe, an association of 16 European chemical societies.
ChemMedChem publishes primary as well as critical secondary and tertiary information from authors across and for the world. Its mission is to integrate the wide and flourishing field of medicinal and pharmaceutical sciences, ranging from drug design and discovery to drug development and delivery, from molecular modeling to combinatorial chemistry, from target validation to lead generation and ADMET studies. ChemMedChem typically covers topics on small molecules, therapeutic macromolecules, peptides, peptidomimetics, and aptamers, protein-drug conjugates, nucleic acid therapies, and beginning 2017, nanomedicine, particularly 1) targeted nanodelivery, 2) theranostic nanoparticles, and 3) nanodrugs.
