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 development of 1,3,4,4a,5,10a-hexahydropyrano[3,4-b]chromene analogs as BACE1 inhibitors is described. Introduction of the spirocyclic pyranochromene scaffold yielded several advantages over previous generation cores, including increased potency, reduced efflux, and reduced CYP2D6 inhibition. Compound 13 (BACE1 IC50=110nM) demonstrated a reduction in CSF Abeta in wild type rats after a single dose.
