Structural highlights
Function
[BACE1_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]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
A series of novel macrocyclic amide-urethanes was designed and synthesized based upon the X-ray crystal structure of our lead inhibitor (1, OM99-2 with eight residues) bound to memapsin 2. Ring size and substituent effects have been investigated. Cycloamide-urethanes containing 14- to 16-membered rings exhibited low nanomolar inhibitory potencies against human brain memapsin 2 (beta-secretase).
