Definitions

• the present invention relates to the application of inhibitors of intestinal recapture of bile acids for the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer 's disease.
• AD Alzheimer's disease 1
• A- ⁇ ⁇ -amyloid peptide
• amyloid plaques are mainly composed of 40- or 42-residue A- ⁇ peptides that are generated during the proteolytic process of the ⁇ -amyloid precursor protein (APP).
• Extracellular deposits of A- ⁇ are very specific for AD and associated disorders. They represent the invariable characteristic of all forms of AD, including family forms (FAD).
• the early familial forms of the disease (onset between 40 and 60 years of age) are due to mutations in the APP gene and in the presenilin-1 (PSI) and presenilin-2 (PS2) genes. Mutations in these three genes induce changes in APP proteolysis, leading to overproduction of A ⁇ and early onset of pathology and symptoms that are similar to sporadic forms of AD.
• inhibitors of cholesterol synthesis such as those of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMG CoA reductase), an enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of cholesterol, as described in WO 00/28981 and in particular statins such as simvastatin (Hartman, 2001 TINS 24: S45- 48).
