COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR PREVENTION OR TREATMENT OF
BETA AMYLOID DEPOSITION
Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to pharmaceutical compositions and methods for the prevention or treatment of beta amyloid protein deposition in mammalian tissues. More specifically, the present invention relates to compositions and methods for the prevention or treatment of beta amyloid protein deposition associated with Alzheimer's disease.
Background of the invention
[0002] Beta amyloid is a group of proteins formed after sequential cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) by secretases. The most common isoforms of beta amyloid are 40 and 42 amino acids length proteins. Beta amyloid protein deposition are believed to be responsible for the pathology of a number of neurodegenerative diseases including, but not limited to, Alzheimer's disease. The production and accumulation of beta amyloid protein is central to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Cummings JL, Alzheimer's disease. N. Engl. J. Med., 2004, 351: 56-67. The pathological amyloid cascade progresses from the generation of the beta amyloid protein, from the amyloid precursor protein (APP), through multiple secondary steps, to cell death. Accordingly, prevention or treatment of beta amyloid protein deposition is considered to be a promising approach for the prevention and treatment of AD. Beta amyloid protein deposition in retinal cells of the eyes has been linked to pathogenesis of glaucoma and age- related macular degeneration (AMD). McKinnon et al., IOVS, 2002, 43(4): 1077- 1087. Thus, there is a great need in safe and effective agents for preventing or treating beta amyloid protein deposition to prevent or treat beta amyloid-induced diseases, e.g. Alzheimer's disease, glaucoma, and AMD.
[0003] Current approaches to the treatment of beta amyloid protein deposition include development of gamma-secretase inhibitors to modulate processing APP and low beta amyloid levels in tissues and development of vaccines against beta amyloid and plaques thereof. However, nothing is published or disclosed in the art related to the use of succinic acid or salts thereof for preventing or treating beta amyloid protein deposition in subjects in need thereof.
[0004] Surprisingly, it has been found that succinic acid or salts thereof is useful for preventing or treating beta amyloid protein deposition in mammals in need thereof.

[0025] The following examples are presented to demonstrate the invention. The examples are illustrative only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.
Example 1. [0026] This example demonstrates the method of the present invention.
Effect of succinic acid or salts thereof on the beta amyloid deposition was assessed in a rodent model of permanent bilateral carotid artery occlusion (2VO). 2VO animal model mimics morphological and behavioral pathology of Alzheimer's disease. Weinstock et a!.. J. Neural. Transm. 2004. I l l: 347-366. 2VO occlusion in rats aged ten months induces abnormal cleavage of APP resulting in the accumulation of extracellular deposits of beta amyloid in the brain cortex ten weeks later. Bennett SA, et al. Neurobiol Aging. 2000. 21(2):207-14. Rats were randomly assigned into groups by five rats per a group. Control sham- operated rats received two courses of i.p. injections of saline once-a-day for seven days with break of three weeks. Rats in treatment groups received two courses of i.p. injections of disodium succinate or dicholine succinate in dose of 25 mg/kg once-a-day for seven days with break of three weeks. Data are presented as beta amyloid accumulation mean ± SEM in brain quantified by ELISA in brain diethylamine extracts.
