CA 2656643

Provided is a method of increasing the stability of wild-type .beta.- glucocerebrosidase. Also provided are methods of treating and/or preventing an individual having a neurological disease in which increased expression or activity of .beta.-glucocerebrosidase in the central nervous system would be beneficial. This method comprises administering an effective amount of a pharmacologic chaperone for .beta.- glucocerebrosidase, with the proviso that the individual does not have a mutation in the gene encoding .beta.-glucocerebrosidase. Further provided are .beta.-glucocerebrosidase inhibitors which have been identified as specific pharmacologic chaperones and which have been shown to increase activity of .beta.-glucocerebrosidase in vivo in the central nervous system.

La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant d'augmenter la stabilité du type sauvage de la .beta.- glucocérébrosidase. L'invention concerne également des procédés de traitement et/ou de prévention d'une maladie neurologique chez un individu, pour lequel l'expression ou l'activité accrue de la .beta.-glucocérébrosidase dans le système nerveux central devrait être bénéfique. Ce procédé consiste à administrer une quantité efficace d'un chaperon pharmacologique de la .beta.-glucocérébrosidase, à la condition que l'individu ne présente pas de mutation au niveau du gène codant pour la .beta.-glucocérébrosidase. L'invention concerne en outre des inhibiteurs de la .beta.-glucocérébrosidase qui ont été identifiés comme chaperons pharmacologiques spécifiques et dont il a été démontré qu'ils intensifiaient l'activité de la .beta.-glucocérébrosidase in vivo dans le système nerveux central.
