EMT-type zeolite nanoparticles (EMT NPs) with particle size of 10-20 nm and external surface area of 200 m(2)/g have shown high selective affinity toward plasma protein (fibrinogen). Besides, the EMT NPs have demonstrated no adverse effect on blood coagulation hemostasis. Therefore, it was envisioned that the EMT NPs could inhibit possible beta-amyloid (A beta)-fibrinogen interactions that result in the formation of structurally abnormal clots, which are resistant to lysis, in cerebral vessels of patients with Alzheimer disease (AD). To evaluate this hypothesis, the clot formation and degradation of A beta-fibrinogen in the presence and absence of the EMT zeolite NPs were assessed. The results clearly showed that the delay in clot dissolution was significantly reduced in the presence of zeolite NPs. By formation of protein corona, the EMT NPs showed a negligible reduction in their inhibitory strength. Docking of small molecules (A beta-fibrinogen) introduced a novel potential inhibitory candidate. The zeolite NPs showed similar inhibitory effects on binding of fibrinogen to both A beta(25-35) and/or A beta(1-42). This indicates that the inhibitory strength of these NPs is independent of A beta sequence, and it is suggested that the zeolite NPs adsorb fibrinogen and specifically obstruct their A beta binding sites. Therefore, the zeolite NPs can be the safe and effective inhibitors in preventing A beta-fibrinogen interaction and consequent cognitive damage.
