Inhibition and disaggregation of α-synuclein oligomers by natural polyphenolic compounds. FEBS letters, 2011, Apr-20, Volume: 585, Issue:8 Aggregation of alpha-synuclein (αS) into oligomers is critically involved in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Using confocal single-molecule fluorescence spectroscopy, we have studied the effects of 14 naturally-occurring polyphenolic compounds and black tea extract on αS oligomer formation. We found that a selected group of polyphenols exhibited potent dose-dependent inhibitory activity on αS aggregation. Moreover, they were also capable of robustly disaggregating pre-formed αS oligomers. Based upon structure-activity analysis, we propose that the key molecular scaffold most effective in inhibiting and destabilizing self-assembly by αS requires: (i) aromatic elements for binding to the αS monomer/oligomer and (ii) vicinal hydroxyl groups present on a single phenyl ring.

Inhibition and disaggregation of α-synuclein oligomers by natural polyphenolic compounds.

Aggregation of alpha-synuclein (αS) into oligomers is critically involved in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Using confocal single-molecule fluorescence spectroscopy, we have studied the effects of 14 naturally-occurring polyphenolic compounds and black tea extract on αS oligomer formation. We found that a selected group of polyphenols exhibited potent dose-dependent inhibitory activity on αS aggregation. Moreover, they were also capable of robustly disaggregating pre-formed αS oligomers. Based upon structure-activity analysis, we propose that the key molecular scaffold most effective in inhibiting and destabilizing self-assembly by αS requires: (i) aromatic elements for binding to the αS monomer/oligomer and (ii) vicinal hydroxyl groups present on a single phenyl ring. These findings may guide the design of novel therapeutic drugs in PD.
