ABSTRACT:
A pharmaceutical agent for treating an amyloid disease in a patient, wherein the pharmaceutical agent comprises a saccharide containing at least one substituted anionic group, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt of the saccharide containing at least one substituted anionic group, and in preferred embodiments is a therapeutically effective amount of glucose pentasulfate. The agent is directed to amyloid diseases in general and to Alzheimer's disease in particular. The pharmaceutical agent may advantageously be combined with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent or excipient.
