Besides being the most enduring hypothesis to explain the molecular and neuropathological findings of AD, the amyloid cascade hypothesis can be used to predict likely disease-modifying targets. The most obvious target is the next generation of amyloid itself. If this can be avoided or mitigated, then it is very likely that the disease process would be interrupted. Inhibition of g-secretase activity could be problematic, as g-secretase inhibitors would also be expected to inhibit the maturation of the notch and therefore could have adverse consequences on haematopoiesis in other processes. BACE inhibitors have been identified and are very intensively studied as potential modifiers of the disease. The increased activity of PKC via an alternative strategy asecretase is accurate, although the caveat remains that has not yet been proven that this will result in a reduction of amyloid itself same. Nevertheless, the great advantage of this strategy is that compounds that increase PKC activity are tried and tested and as cholinergic enhancement compounds? Holinesterase inhibitors, for example) are already in use in the target population. Furthermore, these compounds have also been shown to reduce tau phosphorylation, and “ hit'' the disease process at two sites simultaneously. An alternative approach to the fight against amyloid is to prevent fibrillogenesis of amyloid peptide aggregates or conceal beginning before plaque formation. Compounds that seek to achieve this is to generation. Agents to prevent amyloid formation in AD will be useful, but not frontotemporaldementias the whereasanti-tauaggregationstrategieswould beactiveinbothtypesofdisorder.Tauaggregationitselfisasitefor potential therapeutic intervention, is that phosphorylation of tau. Lithium is a relatively toxic inhibitor of GSK-3, but other less toxic inhibitors of GSK-3 could be of any practical use in AD. Because GSK-3 is inhibited by lithium, these compounds are of considerable interest as potential agents in affective disorders as well.
