Product Description
Beta-Sheet Breaker Peptide iAβ5 is a potent brain amyloid-beta (Abeta) degrader. Abeta deposition is associated with AD/Alzheimer's disease, and the associated toxicity results from its β-sheet conformation and aggregation. β-Sheet Breaker Peptide iAβ5 reproducibly induces the breakdown of fibrillar amyloid deposits in vivo. Thus, β-Sheet Breaker Peptide iAβ5 prevents and/or reverses Abeta-induced neuronal shrinkage and reduces the extent of interleukin IL-1beta-positive microglia-like cells surrounding Abeta deposits. β-Sheet Breaker Peptide iAβ5 reduces the size and/or number of brain amyloid plaques in AD. β-Sheet Breaker Peptide iAβ5 is labeled with a hydrophobic benzyl alcohol (HBA) tag and displays a bright blue color under acidic conditions, allowing for quantitative determination.
beta-Sheet Breaker Peptide iAbeta5 ([Pro18, Asp21] beta-Amyloid (17-21)) is a synthetic pentapeptide (sequence LPFFD) designed as a potent degrader of cerebral amyloid-beta (Abeta) aggregates. Substitution of proline at position 18 and aspartic acid at position 21 disrupts the beta-sheet conformation of the native Abeta fragment, enabling it to bind to Abeta fibrils and induce their disassembly, making it a therapeutic tool for Alzheimer's disease research.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
The primary target of iAbeta5 is the beta-sheet conformation of aggregated amyloid-beta (Abeta). The peptide binds to the hydrophobic core of Abeta fibrils, acting as a beta-sheet breaker that destabilizes the intermolecular beta-sheet structure of amyloid deposits. By interacting with the self-recognition element of Abeta, iAbeta5 induces the disaggregation of preformed fibrils and prevents the formation of new beta-sheet-rich toxic oligomers. This mechanism reduces both amyloid plaque burden and associated neuroinflammation.
ln Vitro
β-Sheet Breaker Peptide iAβ5 (1.5 μg/μL; 7 days) suppresses the development of amyloid beta fibrils, degrades preexisting fibrils in vitro, and shields cell culture neurons from fibril-induced mortality [1]. Following a two-day treatment with 50 μM aggregated Aβ1-42 in human neuroblastoma (IMR-32) cells, β-Sheet Breaker Peptide iAβ5 (60 μM; 48 hours) demonstrated no cytotoxicity [1].
In vitro, iAbeta5 functions as a potent beta-sheet breaker that binds to aggregated Abeta fibrils. The amino acid substitutions (Pro18 and Asp21) prevent the peptide from adopting a beta-sheet conformation while maintaining high affinity for the target fibrils. Through hydrophobic interactions, iAbeta5 disrupts the intermolecular beta-sheet structure of Abeta aggregates, inducing their disassembly into smaller, less toxic fragments. This activity is concentration-dependent and has been demonstrated in both synthetic Abeta fibrils and brain-derived amyloid deposits.
ln Vivo
Aβ1-42 (5 nmol) was co-injected into the rat amygdala along with β-Sheet Breaker Peptide iAβ5 (100 nmol/rat; intra-amygdala injection; 7 days) to prevent Aβ1-42 neurotoxicity in tissue culture. as well as the rat models' development of amyloid fibrils [1]. When administered intraamygdally seven days after treatment with Aβ1-42 (5 nmol), β-Sheet Breaker Peptide iAβ5 (100 nmol/rat, 200 nmol/rat; intra-amygdala injection) causes the body's pre-existing Aβ fibrils to break down, which in turn reverses or prevents Aβ-induced histopathological alterations in rat models [2].
In vivo, beta-Sheet Breaker Peptide iAbeta5 is a potent degrader of cerebral amyloid-beta (Abeta). It crosses the blood-brain barrier (BBB) at a higher rate than most known proteins and peptides and is selectively absorbed by the brain. When administered systemically or intracerebrally to transgenic mouse models of Alzheimer's disease, iAbeta5 induces the reproducible decomposition of fibrillar amyloid deposits, prevents or reverses Abeta-induced neuronal atrophy, and reduces the area of IL-1beta-positive microglial cells surrounding Abeta deposits.
Enzyme Assay
iAbeta5 activity is assessed using a thioflavin T (ThT) fluorescence assay. Synthetic Abeta1-42 (25 uM) is pre-incubated at 37degC for 24-72 hours to allow fibril formation. Varying concentrations of iAbeta5 (e.g., 1-100 uM) are then added to the pre-formed fibrils, and the mixture is incubated for an additional 24-48 hours. ThT is added, and fluorescence (excitation 440 nm, emission 485 nm) is measured. A decrease in ThT fluorescence relative to Abeta alone indicates fibril disassembly by iAbeta5.
Cell Assay
For cellular assays, primary cortical neurons or neuroblastoma cells (e.g., SH-SY5Y) are exposed to pre-formed Abeta42 fibrils (10 uM) for 24 hours to induce neurotoxicity. In a second group, iAbeta5 (e.g., 10-50 uM) is co-incubated with the Abeta fibrils prior to addition to the cells. After 24-48 hours, cell viability is assessed by MTT or LDH release. Protection against Abeta-induced cell death confirms the neuroprotective activity of iAbeta5 through fibril disassembly.
Animal Protocol
beta-Sheet Breaker Peptide iAbeta5 crosses the blood-brain barrier faster than most known proteins and peptides, and it is selectively absorbed by the brain. A typical protocol uses the APP/PS1 double transgenic mouse model of Alzheimer‘s disease. iAbeta5 is administered intraperitoneally (e.g., 10 mg/kg/day) or via intracerebroventricular infusion (e.g., 5-20 microg/day) for 2-4 weeks. Following treatment, mice are sacrificed, and brain sections are stained with Congo red, Thioflavin S, or 6E10 antibody to assess amyloid plaque burden. A reduction in plaque area and number indicates in vivo efficacy.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
No specific pharmacokinetic data for iAbeta5 is provided, but a key property is its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier at a higher rate than most known proteins and peptides. It is speculated that the peptide is specifically transported into the brain via a yet-unidentified transport mechanism. As a pentapeptide, iAbeta5 is susceptible to proteolytic degradation, but the substitution of natural L-amino acids may enhance its stability relative to the native Abeta fragment.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No detailed toxicological data is provided for iAbeta5. In preclinical studies, beta-sheet breaker peptides have been reported to be well-tolerated at therapeutic doses. Potential adverse effects may include local injection site reactions (if administered ICV) or immune responses to peptide-based therapeutics. Standard laboratory safety precautions for handling peptides should be followed, and the compound is not intended for human use without appropriate safety testing.

Additional Infomation
beta-Sheet Breaker Peptide iAbeta5 is a unique research tool for Alzheimer's disease because it targets pre-formed amyloid aggregates for disassembly, rather than merely preventing their formation. The specific amino acid substitutions (Pro18, Asp21) are designed to prevent the peptide from adopting a beta-sheet conformation while retaining high affinity for Abeta fibrils. iAbeta5 has been studied as a potential anti-amyloid therapeutic, and its ability to cross the BBB more efficiently than most other peptides makes it a promising lead for AD drug development. The peptide is also used to reduce the size or number of amyloid plaques within the brain in research models of AD.
