Discovery of drug lead compounds for Anti-Alzheimer's disease on the basis of synaptic plasticity.

ABSTRACT: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease commonly seen in the middle-aged and the elder. Its clinical presentations are mainly memory impairment and cognitive impairment. Its cardinal pathological features are the deposition of extracellular Amyloid-β (Aβ), intracellular neurofibrillary tangles and synaptic dysfunction. The etiology of AD is complex and the pathogenesis remains unclear. Having AD would lead to awful living experience of it's patients, which may be a burden to the patient even to the public health care system. However, there are no certain cure for AD. Thus it's significant for both medical value and social meaning to find the way to cure or prevent AD and to research on the pathogenesis of AD. In this work, the molecular docking technology, pharm
