Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/137922
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention relates to modulators of complex 1 protein q (C1q) that preferably mimic and/or stabilize the interaction of inhibitor apolipoprotein-E (ApoE) with C1q, and their uses in the prevention or treatment of C1q-related diseases or conditions, such Alzheimer's disease (AD), atherosclerosis, kidney diseases, and ageing.
