Effects of various compounds on the elimination rate of [125I]Aβ(1-40) from rat brain

Inhibitor Apparent elimination rate constant (kapp,el) (percentage of control)
Control 100.0 ± 5.0
RAP (5 μm) 109.9 ± 7.1
l-Tyrosine (2 mm) 98.0 ± 14.3
Fucoidan (100 μg/ml) 98.5 ± 10.0
Thiorphan (1 mm) 66.0 ± 5.0*
AG1024 (100 μg/ml) 110.0 ± 11.3
Anti-IGFIR (100 μg/ml) 101.9 ± 7.0
  • RAP, fucoidan, thiorphan, AG1024, and anti-IGFIR were each administered simultaneously with [125I]Aβ(1-40) and [14C]inulin. l-Tyrosine was preadministered before [125I]Aβ(1-40) and [14C]inulin administration. The clearance was evaluated as kapp,el. Each value represents the mean ± SEM (n = 3-8). *p < 0.01, significantly different from the control.
