Small Molecule Induced Toxic Human-IAPP Species Characterized by NMR
2020
In this study, the effect of CurDAc, a water-soluble curcumin derivative, on the formation and stability of amyloid fibers is revealed. CurDAc interaction with amyloid is structurally selective, which is reflected in a strong interference with hIAPP aggregation while showing weaker interactions with human-calcitonin and amyloid-β1-40 in comparison. Remarkably, CurDAc also exhibited potent fiber disaggregation for hIAPP generating a toxic oligomeric species.
