摘要: The flavonoid baicalein inhibits fibrillation of α-synuclein, which is a major component the Lewy bodies in Parkinson’s disease. It has been known that induces formation α-synuclein oligomers and consequently prevents its fibrillation. In order to evaluate structural properties baicalein-stabilized oligomers, we purified oligomer species by HPLC examined their stability structure CD, FTIR, SEC-HPLC, SAXS, AFM. Baicalein-stabilized are β-sheet-enriched according CD FTIR analysis. They did not form fibrils even after very prolonged incubation. From SAXS data AFM images, were characterized as quite compact globular species. Oligomers extremely stable, with GdmCl Cm=3.3 M. This high explains previously observed inhibition toward These being added solution aggregating able noticeably inhibit After co-incubation, short formed, suggesting effective interaction monomeric α-synuclein. Membrane permeability tests suggested had mild effect on integrity membrane surface. was rather similar protein, targeted stabilization certain might offer potential strategy for development novel disease therapies.
