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
The structure activity relationship of the prime region of conformationally restricted hydroxyethylamine (HEA) BACE inhibitors is described. Variation of the P1' region provided selectivity over Cat-D with a series of 2,2-dioxo-isothiochromanes and optimization of the P2' substituent of chromane-HEA(s) with polar substituents provided improvements in the compound's in vitro permeability. Significant potency gains were observed with small aliphatic substituents such as methyl, n-propyl, and cyclopropyl when placed at the C-2 position of the chromane.
