N2 - Glycopolymers carrying sulfate saccharides were found to suppress the formation of amyloid fibrils by amyloid beta peptides, as evaluated by fluorescence assay of thioflavin T and AFM. CD spectra showed that the conformation of amyloid beta peptides was changed from beta peptides depended on the glycopolymer additives, and that the glycopolymer additives reduced the β-sheet contents. Neutralization activity was confirmed by in vitro assay with HeLa cells. The sulfate group and the appropriate sugar contents were essential for the inhibitory effect.
