Abstract

This study is based on the analysis of the recent trend of medication in neurodegenerative diseases. Due to the asymptomatic nature of the diseases, medication delays. Therefore, mechanism of medication assists in removal of the symptoms. Therefore, in order to find out remedy for complete prevention of the disease we have considered "inhibition verses disaggregation" study. Various biophysical techniques such as turbidity measurement (TM), Thioflavin T (ThT) binding assays, circular dichroism (CD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) etc. has been performed. Isoprenaline hydrochloride (ISO) was a good candidate for inhibition and disaggregation of preformed fibrils of BSA. Therefore, it is concluded that inhibition of fibrillation process was more momentous, effective procedure in restricting the aggregation by stabilizing the native conformation of BSA than the removal of preformed amyloid fibrils under in vitro condition. Forwarding ahead, to understand the efficiency of the two processes under in vivo condition, this study can be applied on animal models so that we can look forward on human beings as well for the development of vaccines. This study is concerned about the applied aspect of research in future so that we can hope for prevention of the disease instead of only removal of the symptoms.
