β-Secretase inhibitors are potentially disease-modifying treatments for Alzheimer's disease. Previous efforts in our laboratory have resulted in hydroxyethylamine-derived inhibitors such as 1 with low nanomolar potency against β-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme (BACE). When dosed intravenously, compound 1 was also shown to significantly reduce Aβ40 levels in plasma, brain, and cerebral spinal fluid. Herein, we report further optimizations that led to the discovery of inhibitor 16 as a novel, potent, and orally efficacious BACE inhibitor.
β-分泌酶抑制剂可能是用于治疗阿尔茨海默病的疾病修饰疗法。我们实验室之前的研究成果产生了羟乙胺衍生的抑制剂,如对β-淀粉样前体蛋白裂解酶(BACE)具有低纳摩尔效力的化合物1。静脉给药时,化合物1也被证明能显著降低血浆、大脑和脑脊液中的Aβ40水平。在此,我们报告了进一步的优化,从而发现了抑制剂16,它是一种新型、高效且口服有效的BACE抑制剂。
