     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0002]    1. Field of the Invention 
         [0003]    The present invention relates to a compound that is found out by screening a material for inhibiting a binding of a beta-amyloid 1-42 peptide and VEGF165. The inhibition material screened according to the present invention can increase effectiveness as a material for treating Alzheimer&#39;s disease. 
         [0004]    2. Description of the Related Art 
         [0005]    Alzheimer&#39;s disease to be a major cause of dementia is characterized by loss of memory, a thinking decrease, a progressive neurodegeneration, and the like. Pathologic features of Alzheimer&#39;s disease may be neurofibrillary tangles shown in a cell and senile plaques accumulated outside neurocyte. All of Familial Alzheimer&#39;s disease (FAD) and Sporadic Alzheimer&#39;s disease (SAD) exhibit the above pathologic features. It was revealed that a major component of the senile plaques among them is a toxic protein called a beta-amyloid (Aβ) and it was reported that excess accumulation of the beta-amyloid is a common form (Parihar M S, Hemnani T., J Clin Neurosci. 2004, June; 11 (5):456-67, Selkoe D J.,  Nature.  1999 Jun. 24; 399 (6738 Suppl):A23-31). 
         [0006]    The amyloid has the structure of pleated sheet thereby calling the beta-amyloid, and is generally composed of 39˜43 amino acids. Additionally, an aqueous peptide forms β-pleated sheet formation to form a fibril so that it is easily precipitated to be toxic. It is thought that the above toxicity is a major cause of Alzheimer&#39;s disease (AD). APP695, APP751, and APP770 that are a precursor protein with high molecular weight are a metabolite produced by degradation through a metabolic process by a protease. 
         [0007]    APP that is an integral membrane protein is metabolized in two pathways, such as an amyloidogenic pathway and a non-amyloidogenic pathway. The amyloidogenic pathway produces the beta-amyloid by a protease, such as a beta-secretase and a gamma-secretase, and at this point, concomitantly an extracellular domain is cleaved to secrete out of cell in a type of APP β. On the contrary, the non-amyloidogenic pathway is superior in a normal person and does not produce the beta-amyloid, in which 16/7 part of the beta-amyloid is cleaved by a protease, such as the alpha-secretase, and the cleaved extracellular domain is secreted out of cell in a type of APP alpha. 
         [0008]    APP cleaved by the beta-secretase is divided into a cytoplasmic domain called C99 and N-terminal domain called sAPPβ (secreted form of β-secretase derived APP). C99 again produces 44 kDa beta-amyloid by the gamma-secretase, in which the beta-amyloid has cohesiveness in a small amount, and is beta-amyloid 42 consisting of 42 amino acids that are mainly found in a neurotic plaque. sAPPβ allows secreting about 90 kDa protein outside cell, but its function is not well known (Suh Y H, Checker F., Pharmacol Rev 2002; 54:469-525., Suh Y H., J Neurochem 1997; 68: 1781-91., Selkoe D J., Physiol Rev 2001; 81: 741-66). 
         [0009]    The features, such as an aggregation and neurotoxicity were confirmed in a sequence of the beta-amyloid. KLVFF (Aβ16-20) that is the middle part of the sequence is important for interacting between the beta-amyloids. In addition, 25-35 part of the beta-amyloid seems to contribute both of an aggregation and neurotoxicity in a peptide (Yang S P. et al., J. Neurochem. 2005 April; 93(1):118-27.). 
         [0010]    Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is one of important factors for new angiogenesis. VEGF is a homodimeric protein and allows producing five isomers consisting of 121, 145, 165, 189, and 206 amino acids by an alternative splicing. According to the recent studies, it is further reported that VEGF165 has new roles, such as psychotropic and nerve protection factors related to angiogenesis, vascular permeability in vivo, and an endothelial growth (Di Benedetto M., Biochim Biophys Acta. 2008 April; 1780(4):723-32. Epub 2008 Feb. 7.). 
         [0011]    VEGF121 and VEGF165 occupy most of VEGF isomers, and also are involved inmost of VEGF activity. VEGF165 has higher affinity to VEGF receptor than that of VEGF121, and also high effect on stimulating an endothelial division. All of VEGF isomers have N-terminal receptor-binding domain consisting of 110 amino acids in common. On the contrary, C-terminal is not. VEGF165 has a heparin-binding domain (HBD) consisting of 55 amino acids that can be combined with heparin, and encoded by exon 7 and exon 8. However, VEGF121 does not have HBD so that heparin cannot be combined with it. According to the recent studies, it can be found that VEGF is interacted with the beta-amyloid and affects cytotoxicity of the beta-amyloid. VEGF165 is interacted with the beta-amyloid, but VEGF121 does not have HBD so that it is not interacted with the beta-amyloid. In addition, it is confirmed that the main binding part of VEGF165 that is combined with the beta-amyloid is 25-35 sequence of peptide. As demonstrated in the above sentence, 25-35 part of the beta-amyloid allows the beta-amyloid to have toxicity. VEGF165 protects a cell from neurotoxicity induced by the beta-mayloid and the aggregation of the beta-amyloid (Yang S P. et al., J. Neurochem. 2005 April; 93 (1):118-27).

         [0036]    The beta-amyloid 1-42 (Aβ) is most powerful material for developing Alzheimer&#39;s disease (AD), and an aqueous amyloid forms p pleated sheet formation to form a fibril so that it is easy to precipitate to have toxicity that is involved in a neural death. At this situation, HBD of VEGF165 is bound to 25-35 part that is a part for involving in toxicity of the beta-amyloid to reduce Aβ toxicity. A similar compound to HBD which inhibits the binding between the beta-amyloid and VEGF165 may be developed as a raw material for a therapeutic agent and a medicine of Alzheimer&#39;s disease. A method for quickly and easily screening ten thousands of compounds is required for screening an inhibitor of the binding between the beta-amyloid and VEGF165. A material screened by using a virtual screening and the protein chip may be developed to an inhibitor of the binding between the beta-amyloid and VEGF165. 
         [0037]    A material for inhibiting the binding between the beta-amyloid and VEGF165 helps VEGF165 to act as psychotropic and nerve protection factors through VEGF165 is free from a nerve cell by inhibiting the interaction between VEGF165-beta-amyloid by binding to HBD of VEGF165.

       Example 1 
     Virtual Screening of Material for Inhibiting Binding Between Beta-Amyloid and VEGF165 
       [0048]    MOE (Molecular Operating Environment) program of Chemical Computing Group and GOLD 4.0.1 program of Cambridge Crystallographic Data Centre (CCDC) were used as software used for a virtual screening. A molecular docking simulation was used as a screening method. The specific method was as follows. Firstly, a first molecular docking simulation was performed to the whole of 40,000 library compounds files. 1KMX structure of Protein Data Bank (PDB) among VEFG models was used as a target receptor protein. A search algorithm for a docking calculation used Alpha Triangle Method to calculate maximum 500,000 structures changes energies per each ligand compound. The method used a docking algorithm by confirming as to whether another triangle of receptor protein was matched to the triangle that was shaped with three points of molecular. LondondG method was used as a scoring method to calculate maximum 10 poses per ligands. The scoring method supported from MOE was divided into three classes, such as, LondondG, AffinitydG, and AlphaHB, and LondondG used for the present calculation was as follows:

         [0051]    Table 1 is a summarized table of methods used for virtual screening. 
       Example 2 
     Fixation of Beta-Amyloid to Substrate 
       [0052]    ProteoChip™ (Proteogen Inc., Seoul, Korea) was used as a substrate to fix a protein. A sheet paper was adhered on the substrate to prepare Well-Chip. A beta-amyloid (Bachem AG, Bubendorf, Switzerland) was diluted with a phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) containing 30% glycerol solution to be 50 μg/ml; then added to each well; reacted at 30° C. in a humidity incubator, overnight; the beta-amyloid remained after combining was washed with a phosphate-buffered saline containing 0.05% tween-20 (0.05% PBST); dried with a nitrogen gas; and then a high-speed-high throughput screening was performed. 
       Example 3 
     High-Speed-High-Throughput Screening for Material of Inhibiting Interaction Between Beta-Amyloid and VEGF165 from Library 
       [0053]    3-1) Interaction of Beta-Amyloid and VEGF165 
         [0054]    In order to investigate an interaction of a beta-amyloid and VEGF165, the beta-amyloid-tagged protein chip prepared in Example 2 was blocked with 3% BSA for 2 hours; then washed with a washing solution (0.05% PBST) twice; and then dried with a nitrogen gas. And then, VEGF165 (R&amp;D System, Inc., Minneapolis, Minn. USA) with the concentration range of 500 μg/ml to 3.9 μg/ml was diluted with a phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) containing 30 glycerol solution and then added to each of wells of the beta-amyloid microarray; reacted at 30° C. in, a humidity incubator for 1 hour; unbound VEGF165 to the beta-amyloid was washed with the washing solution twice; and then dried using a nitrogen gas. And then, it was reacted with VEGF165 bound to the beta-amyloid using VEGF165 antibody (Primary Antibody) to be specifically bound to VEGF165 at 30° C. in a humidity incubator for 1 hour; unbound primary antibody was washed with the washing solution twice; and then dried with a nitrogen gas. And then, the antibody (Secondary Antibody) bound with Cy5 fluorescent material (Cy-5; Amersham Parmacia Biotech, Uppsala Sweden) that can be bound to the primary antibody was reacted at 30° C. in humidity incubator for 30 minutes. Unbound secondary antibody was washed with the washing solution twice; dried with the nitrogen gas; and then scanned with a fluorescent scanner. 
         [0055]      FIG. 2  is a fluorescent scan image (Left part of  FIG. 2 ) showing the interaction between a beta-amyloid 1-42 peptide and VEGF165 and a graph (Right part of  FIG. 2 ) showing a dose-response curve of the interaction between the beta-amyloid 1-42 peptide and VEGF165. Specifically,  FIG. 2  is a graph showing a relative fluorescence intensity of VEGF165 bound to the beta-amyloid and a primary antibody bound to VEGF165 by measuring the relation between the logs of the secondary antibody concentration marked with Cy-5 fluorescence. 
         [0056]    As shown in  FIG. 2 , it could be found that VEGF165 was bound to the beta-amyloid and then bound to the primary antibody, and then the primary antibody well reacts with Cy5-marked secondary antibody. Among those, VEGF165 was started to saturate at the concentration of at least about 125 μg/ml. For this reason, it could be known that the beta-amyloid 1-42 peptide-tagged chip was useful and suitable for screening an inhibitor of the binding between the beta-amyloid 1-42 peptide and VEGF165. 
         [0057]    3-2) Preparation of Mixed Solution of VEGF165 and Library 
         [0058]    A mixed solution was prepared by mixing VEGF165 (50 μg/ml) and 130 compounds (50 μM) derived from a natural material obtained in Example 1 in order to experiment the inhibition of the binding between the beta-amyloid and VEGF165. It was diluted with the phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) containing 30% glycerol solution to use. 
         [0059]    3-3) First Screening of Inhibitor for Inhibiting Binding Between Beta-Amyloid and VEGF165 
         [0060]    The beta-amyloid-tagged protein chip prepared in Example 2 was blocked with 3% BSA for 2 hours; then washed with 0.05% PBST twice; and then dried with a nitrogen gas. And then, the mixed solution containing each of 130 libraries prepared in Example 3-2 (a single concentration of 150 μM) and VEGF165 was added to each of wells; and then reacted at 30° C. in a humidity incubator for 1 hour. It was washed with the washing solution; then dried using a nitrogen gas; a primary antibody was added to each of wells; then reacted at 30° C. in a humidity incubator for 30 minutes; washed with the washing solution; and then dried with the nitrogen gas to measure an inhibition ability of library by analyzing the binding degree with the relative fluorescence intensity using a fluorescence laser scanner. As a result, it could be verified that the compounds effectively inhibited the binding reaction of the beta-amyloid 1-42 peptide-VEGF165 by showing relatively low fluorescence intensity in a great number of libraries (see  FIG. 3 ). 
         [0061]      FIG. 3  is the results for screening the compounds for inhibiting the interaction of the beta-amyloid 1-92 peptide and VEGF165 from the library in a protein chip system. 
         [0062]    For the above experiment, the mixed solution without the library was used as a positive control and the mixed solution with a heparin was used as a negative control. The heparin is bound to HBD of VEGF165 to inhibit VEGF165 to bind to the beta-amyloid. 
         [0063]    The fluorescence intensity in  FIG. 3  expresses rainbow colors. Originally, the result expresses single color, such as blue or red, but in the case of the above experiment, the software of the device gives the color changed according to the fluorescence intensity because the fluorescence intensity was not easily distinguished if the color was single. 
         [0064]    Generally, the fluorescence intensity appears from the strongest fluorescence intensity in the order of white, red, orange, yellow, green, and blue. From the result of  FIG. 3 , it could be found that the color was white or red when reacting only with VEFG165 so that the binding between the beta-amyloid 1-42 peptide and VEGF165 was presented. When experimenting with the heparin, the interaction between the beta-amyloid 1-42 peptide and VEGF165 was inhibited so that the beta-amyloid 1-42 peptide and VEGF165 was not bound thereby appearing blue that means the lowest fluorescence intensity. 
         [0065]    Some compounds of libraries inhibit the interaction between the beta-amyloid 1-42 peptide and VEGF165 so that the beta-amyloid 1-42 peptide and VEGF165 were not bound thereby appearing blue or green that means the lowest fluorescence intensity. Therefore, it was verified that the specific compound was the material that inhibits the binding between the beta-amyloid 1-42 peptide and VEGF164 (see  FIG. 3 ).

         [0067]    IC 50  values for inhibiting the binding between VEGF165 in the concentration of 50 μg/ml and the beta-amyloid fixed in the concentration of 50 μg/ml were obtained by treating the inhibitors found from the first screening in Example 3-3 using the method used in Example 3-3, in which the inhibitors were used by diluting two times from 100 μM to 1 μM per concentration (see  FIG. 4 ). The results for two types of inhibitors that had most effective inhibition activity among those were shown (see  FIG. 5 ).

     Observation of Biological Activity for Materials Screened Using Protein Chip 
       [0068]    4-1) Preparation of PC12 Cell and SH-SY5Y Cell 
         [0069]    PC12 Cell (Korean Cell Line Bank, Seoul, Korea) was maintained in the mixed solution of RPMI1640 (Welgene, Daegu, Korea) containing 1× Antibiotic-Antimycotic (GIBCO, N.Y., USA) and 10% FBS (Fetal Bovine Serum) (Welgene, Daegu, Korea). SH-SY5Y cell (Korean Cell Line Bank, Seoul, Korea) was maintained in the mixed solution of DMED/F12 (Welgene, Daegu, Korea) containing 1× Antibiotic-Antimycotic (GIBCO, N.Y., USA) and 10% FBS (Fetal Bovine Serum) (Welgene, Daegu, Korea). The PC12 and SH-SY5Y culture cells were maintained under the conditions of 100% humidity and 37° C. in the environment for supplying gas components with further 5% carbon dioxide. 
         [0070]    4-2) MTT Assay 
         [0071]    It was performed according to a MTT [(3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2yl-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazoilum bromide] experiment protocol. MTT was dissolved in PBS to be 5 mg/ml and then stored at 4° C. to use. After completing the reaction, 10 μl of 5 mg/ml MTT solution was added to 100 culture mixed solution of each well and then reacted for 3 hours. The supernatant of each well was discarded, and then a chromophoric reactant (Formazancrystal) was dissolved in 100 μl of DMSO; and then an absorbance was measured using ELISA reader (595 nm). 
         [0072]    4-3) Cytotoxicity of Beta-Amyloid 
         [0073]    The PC12 cells were added to each of wells of Poly-D-lysine-coated 96-well tissue culture plate (Corning, Mass., USA) to be the cell concentration of 2×10 4  per well. And then, after maintaining for 24 hours, the beta-amyloid was added to each well per concentrations along with the mixed solution containing 10% FBS, and then reacted for 24 hours to perform MTT assay. 
         [0074]    4-4) Inhibition of Cytotoxicity of Beta-Amyloid by Screened Material 
         [0075]    The SH-SY5Y cells were added to 96-well tissue culture plate to be the cell concentration of 1×10 4  per well. And then, after maintaining for 24 hours, it was starved with the culture mixed solution containing 2% FBS for 4 hours; the beta-amyloid (10 μM) and the screened material (½ diluted in 20 mM) were added to each well along with the culture mixed solution containing 2% FBS; and then reacted for 24 hours to perform MTT assay. 
         [0076]      FIG. 6  is results for confirming cytotoxicity by the beta-amyloid in SH-SY5Y cell and PC12 cell. It could be confirmed that a survival rate of cell was decreased in proportion as the concentration increase of beta-amyloid 1-42 in PC12 cell and SH-SY5Y cell, and also a survival rate of cell was not largely decreased as compared with that of the forward-synthesized beta-amyloid in proportion as the concentration increase of reverse-synthesized beta-amyloid 42-1 in SH-SY5Y. It was verified that the cytotoxicity was increased by the forward-synthesized beta-amyloid. 
         [0077]      FIG. 7  is results for confirming the cytotoxicity decrease of the beta-amyloid by Alzhemed™ and a candidate of inhibitor (IPS-04001) in SH-SY5Y cell. It could be confirmed that a survival rate of cell was confirmed by treating the candidate of inhibitor and Alzhemed™ (½ diluted in 20 μM) per concentrations to 10 μM beta-amyloid in SH-SY5Y cell so that the survival rate of cell was increased by the candidate of inhibitor and Alzhemed™. The survival rate was increased to about 30% at more than 5 μM when using the standard of 10 μM beta-amyloid in Alzhemed™ used as a control, and increased to about 20˜25% at more than 5 μM in the candidate of inhibitor (IPS-04001). And also, it could be found that the survival rate of SH-SY5Y cells was increased to at least 10% at more than 1.25 μM in the candidate of inhibitor (IPS-04001). Overall, the candidate of inhibitor (IPS-04001) showed the survival rate having about 5% lower as compared with that of Alzhemed™, but for the toxicity of the beta-amyloid, it was shown the similar survival rates of cells in general.
