Structure of BACE complexed to compound 3a
Overview
A new aspartic protease inhibitory chemotype bearing a 2-amino-3,4-dihydroquinazoline ring was identified by high-throughput screening for the inhibition of BACE-1. X-ray crystallography revealed that the exocyclic amino group participated in a hydrogen bonding array with the two catalytic aspartic acids of BACE-1 (Asp(32), Asp(228)). BACE-1 inhibitory potency was increased (0.9 microM to 11 nM K(i)) by substitution into the unoccupied S(1)' pocket.
