In Vitro Inhibition Assay: Table 5: Fresh solutions of the test compounds (2.5 mM in DMSO) are diluted in PBS pH7.4, at concentrations between 0.5 nM and 5 μM in the presence of α-syn (200 nM), Aβ1-42 (500 nM) or Tau (200 nM) fibres and ThT 500 nM in a final 2 mL volume. The samples are incubated for 1 h at room temperature (RT) to reach equilibrium. The binding of ThT to α-syn, Aβ1-42 or Tau fibres is measured by fluorescence (excitation: 440 nm, emission: 480 nm). Inhibition of ThT binding by increasing concentrations of each test compound is measured by fluorescence reduction. Due to the partial superposition between the emission spectra of some compounds and ThT, the compounds are also incubated with α-syn, Aβ1-42 or Tau fibers in the absence of ThT. For each concentration, the fluorescence values in the absence of ThT are subtracted from those in the presence of ThT. The results are expressed as a percentage of the maximum fluorescence value of the ThT measured in the absence of a competitor (100% bind).
