Abstrakt: Two tetrapeptides, HAEE and RADD, which are ionic-complementary to the primary zinc recognition site of amyloid-β (Aβ), have been reported to inhibit zinc-induced dimerization of the Aβ metal-binding domain and slow Aβ aggregation in vitro. In the present study, we investigate the impact of HAEE and RADD on the development of cerebral β-amyloidosis in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease. We have found chronic intravenous administration of each peptide results in significant decrease of amyloid plaque burden in the treated mice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
