Towards Inhibition of α-Synuclein Aggregation

We report that αS1-25 inhibits lipid-induced αS aggregation in a dose-dependent manner. αS1-25 functions by binding to lipids to prevent αS binding, with both αS and peptide requiring lipid for inhibition to occur. These findings present a potential mechanistic route for the treatment or prevention of PD.
