β-Sheet Breaker Peptide iAβ5
Based on 1 Customer Validation
β-Sheet Breaker Peptide iAβ5 ([Pro18, Asp21] β-Amyloid (17-21)) is an amyloid fibril disaggregation inducer. β-Sheet Breaker Peptide iAβ5 inhibits fibril formation and disaggregates preformed fibrils by binding to the central hydrophobic region of Aβ (LVFFA) and disrupting the interactions between Aβ monomers/oligomers. β-Sheet Breaker Peptide iAβ5 reproducibly induces the disaggregation of fibrillar amyloid deposits in rat brain. β-Sheet Breaker Peptide iAβ5 prevents and reverses Aβ-induced neuronal shrinkage, reduces IL-1β-positive microglia surrounding Aβ deposits, and decreases the size of cerebral amyloid plaques. β-Sheet Breaker Peptide iAβ5 labeled with HBA enables blue quantitative detection under acidic conditions. β-Sheet Breaker Peptide iAβ5 is used in research related to Alzheimer's disease.

Biological Activity
Description
In Vitro
β-Sheet Breaker Peptide iAβ5 (0.074-1.5 μg/μl; 7 days) dose-dependently inhibits Aβ1-40 and Aβ1-42 fibril formation and disaggregates preformed fibrils[1].
β-Sheet Breaker Peptide iAβ5 (60-366 μM; 48 h), when co-incubated with Aβ1-42 at a 1:1 molar ratio, prevents the deleterious effects induced by Aβ1-42 in IMR-32 human neuroblastoma cells[1][2].

-
Cell Line:Human neuroblastoma IMR-32 cells
-
Concentration:60 μM (final); 366 μM (pre-incubation)
-
Incubation Time:48 h
-
Result:Reduced 3H-thymidine incorporation and cell viability to approximately 30% of control when cells were treated with 50 μM aggregated Aβ1-42 alone.
Produced a marked inhibition of Aβ1-42 detrimental effects when co-incubated with Aβ1-42.
At 60 μM, iAβ5 was not significantly detrimental, with cell loss of less than 10% compared with control cells.
In Vivo
β-Sheet Breaker Peptide iAβ5 (100.0-200.0 nmol/3.0 µl; bilateral amygdala injection; single dose) dose-dependently induces the depolymerization of pre-existing fibrillar Aβ deposits in the rat amygdala and prevents and reverses Aβ-induced neuronal shrinkage[2].
β-Sheet Breaker Peptide iAβ5 (200.0 nmol/3.0 µl; bilateral intra-amygdala injection; single dose)-induced Aβ fibril disaggregation is reproducible and reduces Aβ deposit size[2].

Increased average neuronal cell area to 256 µm2 at 100.0 nmol and 235 µm2 at 200.0 nmol compared to 208 µm2 in the Aβ/VEH2 group.
Reduced IL-1β positive microglia-like cells surrounding Aβ deposits at 100.0 nmol and virtually absent at 200.0 nmol.
Induced numerous OX-42 positive phagocytic cells at the injection site at 200.0 nmol and to a lesser extent at 100.0 nmol.

Amyloid: Congo Red Amyloid Staining
Congo red amyloid staining is a histochemical method used to detect extracellular amyloid deposits in tissue sections based on the affinity of Congo red dye for β-pleated sheet-rich protein aggregates. When bound to amyloid, Congo red produces characteristic apple-green birefringence under polarized light microscopy, which is widely regarded as a diagnostic feature of amyloid deposition in histopathology. The diagnostic principle relies on the combination of dye binding (congophilia) and optical anisotropy under polarized illumination, which distinguishes amyloid from most non-amyloid eosinophilic extracellular deposits in routine histological evaluation. Amyloid identification by Congo red staining remains a cornerstone in diagnostic pathology despite the availability of adjunct methods such as immunohistochemistry and mass spectrometry, particularly because of its ability to localize deposits directly within tissue architecture. The specificity of Congo red-positive deposits is incre

Alzheimer’s Disease Modeling
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by a progressive decline in cognitive functions and loss of specific types of neurons and synapses. Alzheimer's symptoms can be simulated in mice by injecting drugs (such as Aβ) or genetically modified.

Pyroptosis Solutions
Pyroptosis is a lytic inflammatory cell-death pathway executed by gasdermin pores, most classically through inflammasome-mediated activation of caspase-1, cleavage of gasdermin D, membrane pore formation, LDH release, and secretion of IL-1β and IL-18. The canonical pathway is commonly modeled by priming cells with an inflammatory signal such as LPS to induce pro-IL-1β and inflammasome components, followed by an activation signal such as ATP or nigericin to activate NLRP3, ASC speck formation, caspase-1 cleavage, GSDMD cleavage, cytokine release, and pyroptotic membrane rupture. The non-canonical pathway is triggered when cytosolic LPS activates mouse caspase-11 or human caspase-4/5, leading to GSDMD cleavage and pyroptosis, and this can secondarily activate NLRP3-dependent IL-1β release. Pyroptosis is linked to inflammatory injury, infection, cancer, liver disease, ocular disease, placental inflammation, and other disease phenotypes, but unresolved questions include which gasdermin fam
