Structure-based design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of a series of peptidomimetic beta-secretase inhibitors incorporating hydroxyethylamine isosteres are described. We have identified inhibitor 24 which has shown exceedingly potent activity in memapsin 2 enzyme inhibitory (K(i) 1.8 nM) and cellular (IC(50)=1 nM in Chinese hamster ovary cells) assays. Inhibitor 24 has also shown very impressive in vivo properties (up to 65% reduction of plasma A beta) in transgenic mice. The X-ray structure of protein-ligand complex of memapsin 2 revealed critical interactions in the memapsin 2 active site.
本文描述了一系列包含羟乙胺等排体的拟肽β-分泌酶抑制剂的基于结构的设计、合成及生物学评价。我们已鉴定出抑制剂24,它在β-分泌酶2(memapsin 2)酶抑制试验(K(i)为1.8 nM)和细胞试验(在中国仓鼠卵巢细胞中的IC(50) = 1 nM)中显示出极其强效的活性。抑制剂24在转基因小鼠中也表现出非常令人印象深刻的体内特性(血浆β-淀粉样蛋白最多降低65%)。β-分泌酶2的蛋白质-配体复合物的X射线结构揭示了其活性位点中的关键相互作用。
