Abstract:
The invention provides a method of treating a mammal having a condition associated with formation of amyloidogenic protein without deposition of amyloid plaques. This treatment includes administering to the mammal a pharmacologically effective amount of Congo Red or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt or derivative thereof to interfere with amyloidogenic protein formation or to destabilize amyloidogenic protein structures already formed in said mammal. The invention also provides a method of treating a mammal having a condition associated with deposition of amyloidogenic protein in plaques, and a method of inhibiting the transformation of PrP-sen to PrP-res in a tissue culture sample containing PrP-sen.
