Abstract:
PURPOSE: An aminostyrylbenzofuran compound and a pharmaceutical composition containing the same are provided to prevent and treat neurodegenerative diseases caused by beta-amyloid fibrillation. CONSTITUTION: A compound is selected among an aminostyrylbenzofuran compound of chemical formula 1 and a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, an isomer, a hydrate, and a solvate thereof. A pharmaceutical composition which suppresses beta-fibrillation contains the compound as an active ingredient. A pharmaceutical composition for preventing or treating neurodegenerative diseases contains the compound as an active ingredient. The neurodegenerative diseases are senile dementia, stroke, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, or bovine spongiform encephalopathy.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for screening an inhibitory agent of HBV proliferation by measuring the interaction (binding strength) between capsid protein and surface protein, necessary for the proliferation of HBV, by using cellular imaging, more precisely a method for measuring changes on cellular imaging caused by the interaction between a fusion protein containing PreS domain of HBV surface protein and PH (Pleckstrin homology) domain sequence and a fusion protein containing capsid protein and fluorescence protein (GFP) interacting with the said fusion protein. The method of the present invention detecting the interaction between proteins necessary for HBV proliferation at cellular level can be effectively used for the screening of a novel inhibitory agent of HBV proliferation at cellular level.
