摘要: Non-enzymatic glycosylation of proteins, also called Maillard reaction, which occurs at an accelerated rate in diabetes, can lead to the formation advanced endproducts (AGEs). Tenilsetam (®CAS 997: (±)-3-(2-thienyl)-2-piperazinone), a cognition-enhancing drug successfully used for treatment patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease, when included reaction apparently inhibits protein crosslinking by AGEs vitro. According mechanism proposed, acts via covalent attachment glycated thus blocking reactive sites further polymerisation reactions. A beneficial effect disease could come interference with AGE-derived amyloid plaques and decreased inflammatory response diminished activation phagocytosing microglia.
