abstract = {A hallmark of Parkinson's disease (PD) is the progressive
neurodegeneration associated with soluble oligomeric and
fibrillar forms of misfolded α-synuclein (α-syn). In this
study, all-D-enantiomeric peptide ligands are presented that
bind monomeric α-syn with high affinity, stabilize its
physiological monomeric status, prevent aggregation and
dissolve existing aggregates. This "antiprionic" mode of
action directly targets pathogenic aggregated particles.
Using mirror-image phage display on D-enantiomeric
full-length α-syn, SVD-1 and SVD-1a were identified,
showing a delay of aggregation and reduction of aggregate
formation in both de novo and seeded models. Picomolar KDs
were confirmed by SPR, where a highly dynamic interaction
mode was verified by PRE-NMR. SVD-1a also reduced the
toxicity and intracellular seeding of α-syn fibrils in cell
culture by disassembling them into monomers, as confirmed by
atomic force microscopy and dynamic light scattering. These
results support SVD-1a as a promising lead compound for the
treatment of Parkinson's disease.},
