We have identified macrocyclic inhibitors of the aspartic protease BACE, implicated in the etiology of Alzheimer's disease. An X-ray structure of screening hit 1 in the BACE active site revealed a hairpin conformation suggesting that constrained macrocyclic derivatives may also bind there. Several of the analogs we prepared were >100x more potent than 1, such as 7 (5 nM K(i)).
我们已经鉴定出天冬氨酸蛋白酶 BACE 的大环抑制剂,该酶与阿尔茨海默病的病因有关。筛选命中化合物 1 在 BACE 活性部位的 X 射线结构显示出发夹构象,表明约束性大环衍生物也可能在那里结合。我们制备的几种类似物比 1 强 100 倍以上,例如 7(5 nM K(i))。
