Dimebon Reduces the Levels of Aggregated Amyloidogenic Protein Forms in Detergent-Insoluble Fractions

Aggregation of proteins liable to assembling into fi brils with subsequent formation of amyloid incorporations is an important component in the pathogenesis of many neurodegenerative diseases. Dimebon, a Russian drug, reduces the content of detergent-insoluble fi brillar forms of synuclein, the main protein component of pathological incorporations in neurons of transgenic mouse strain used in the study.
