Human BACE-1 complex with NB-216
Structural highlights
FunctionBACE1_HUMAN Responsible for the proteolytic processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP). Cleaves at the N-terminus of the A-beta peptide sequence, between residues 671 and 672 of APP, leads to the generation and extracellular release of beta-cleaved soluble APP, and a corresponding cell-associated C-terminal fragment which is later released by gamma-secretase.[1] [2] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMedA series of macrocyclic peptidic BACE-1 inhibitors was designed. While potency on BACE-1 was rather high, the first set of compounds showed poor brain permeation and high efflux in the MDRI-MDCK assay. The replacement of the secondary benzylamino group with a phenylcyclopropylamino group maintained potency on BACE-1, while P-glycoprotein-mediated efflux was significantly reduced and brain permeation improved. Several compounds from this series demonstrated acute reduction of Abeta in human APP-wildtype transgenic (APP51/16) mice after oral administration. Macrocyclic BACE-1 inhibitors acutely reduce Abeta in brain after po application.,Lerchner A, Machauer R, Betschart C, Veenstra S, Rueeger H, McCarthy C, Tintelnot-Blomley M, Jaton AL, Rabe S, Desrayaud S, Enz A, Staufenbiel M, Paganetti P, Rondeau JM, Neumann U Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2010 Jan 15;20(2):603-7.
