neurodegenerative processes, is related to overactivation of calpain-mediated proteolysis.
Previous data showed a compelling efficacy of calpain inhibition against abnormal synaptic
plasticity and memory produced by the excess of amyloid-ß, a distinctive marker of the
disease. Moreover, a beneficial effect of calpain inhibitors in Alzheimer's disease is
predictable by the occurrence of calpain hyperactivation leading to impairment of memory …
