“…Family history of dementia only plays a petite role. The two main marked microscopic features are extracellular amyloid plaques and intraneuronal neurofibrillary tangles [3][4][5][6]. Amyloid plaque is characterized by deposits of β-amyloid plaques and other with phosphorylated form of microtubule associated protein [7,8].…”

“…Amyloid plaque is characterized by deposits of β-amyloid plaques and other with phosphorylated form of microtubule associated protein [7,8]. The erroneously processed amyloid peptide is the major contributory factor of this disease [6]. In normal circumstances amyloid precursor protein is being cleaved by α-secretase into two parts, one which is the large soluble portion in silico Single Nucleotide Polymorphism Prediction and Design for Targeting Amyloid Precursor Protein in Alzheimers Disease and the other being small membrane anchored part which is then cleaved by γ-secretase [9].…”

Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder, is the common cause of dementia and affect life quality. Present research analysis is based on the amyloid precursor protein as it is one of the major biomarkers of Alzheimer’s disease, the insoluble part of which gets deposited due to the inappropriate cleavage by secretase enzyme. The instrumental part of this study was performed by using Computer Aided Drug Design (CADD). About 23 phytoconstituents were taken, from these constituents rosamarinic acid produced the highest docking score. Preliminary characterizations of all the ligands were conducted using Biovia Discovery studio along with protein characterization, Lipinski rule analysis and ADMET. The in silico analysis convincingly predicted the action of rosamarinic acid, against the formation of amyloid plaque by binding with the amyloid precursor protein .Details of single nucleotide polymorphism on gene APPI were analyzed by dbSNP database and displays the need for further in vitro study.
