We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

| + | Design, synthesis and evaluation of very potent and selective beta-Secretase 2 (memapsin 1, BACE 2) inhibitors are described. The inhibitors were designed specifically to interact with the S2'-site of beta-secretase 2 to provide >170,000-fold selectivity over beta-secretase (BACE 1) and >15,000-fold selectivity over cathepsin D. BACE 2 is implicated in Type 2 diabetes. The studies serve as an important guide to selective BACE 2 inhibitors. | ||
