A hereditary generalized amyloidosis due to transthyretin amyloid deposition. Protein fibrils can form in different tissues leading to amyloid polyneuropathies, amyloidotic cardiomyopathy, carpal tunnel syndrome, systemic senile amyloidosis. The disease includes leptomeningeal amyloidosis that is characterized by primary involvement of the central nervous system. Neuropathologic examination shows amyloid in the walls of leptomeningeal vessels, in pia arachnoid, and subpial deposits. Some patients also develop vitreous amyloid deposition that leads to visual impairment (oculoleptomeningeal amyloidosis). Clinical features include seizures, stroke-like episodes, dementia, psychomotor deterioration, variable amyloid deposition in the vitreous humor. Defects in TTR are a cause of hyperthyroxinemia dystransthyretinemic euthyroidal (HTDE) [MIM:145680. It is a condition characterized by elevation of total and free thyroxine in healthy, euthyroid persons without detectable binding protein abnormalities. Defects in TTR are a cause of carpal tunnel syndrome type 1 (CTS1) [MIM:115430. It is a condition characterized by entrapment of the median nerve within the carpal tunnel. Symptoms include burning pain and paresthesias involving the ventral surface of the hand and fingers which may radiate proximally. Impairment of sensation in the distribution of the median nerve and thenar muscle atrophy may occur. This condition may be associated with repetitive occupational trauma, wrist injuries, amyloid neuropathies, rheumatoid arthritis. Function TTHY_HUMAN Thyroid hormone-binding protein. Probably transports thyroxine from the bloodstream to the brain. Publication Abstract from PubMed Transthyretin (TTR) is a ss-sheet-rich homotetrameric protein that transports thyroxine (T4) and retinol both in plasma and in cerebrospinal fluid. TTR also interacts with amyloid-beta, playing a protective role in Alzheimer's disease. Dissociation of the native transthyretin (TTR) tetramer is widely accepted as the critical step in TTR amyloids fibrillogenesis, and is responsible for extracellular deposition of amyloid fibrils. Small molecules, able to bind in T4 binding sites and stabilize the TTR tetramer, are interesting tools to treat and prevent systemic ATTR amyloidosis. We report here the synthesis, in vitro evaluation and three-dimensional crystallographic analyses of new monoaryl-derivatives in complex with TTR. Of the derivatives reported here, the best inhibitor of TTR fibrillogenesis, 1d, exhibits an activity similar to diflunisal.
