Abstract

The amyloid hypothesis admits that the Alzheimer’s disease etiology is associated with selfassembly of amyloid beta (Aβ) peptides inside the brain. The Aβ peptides are produced by proteolytic cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) by β-secretase and γ-secretase. Among these, Aβ42 is more toxic than Aβ40 and is the cause of neuronal cell death. Using docking simulation, the interaction of CID 16040294 (GVD) with Aβ42 fibrils was investigated. The results show that CID 16040294 (GVD) strongly interacts with Aβ42 fibrils, interacts best with the 2MXU fibril structure, and the non-binding interaction plays a more important role than Hydrogen bonding in the steady state of the receptor-ligand conformation. From these results, we propose that GVD compound is a potential compound to treat Alzheimer’s disease.
