Crystal structure of BACE1 in complex with 2-aminooxazoline 3-azaxanthene inhibitor 28
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 PubMedThe beta-site amyloid precursor protein (APP) cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1) is one of the most hotly pursued targets for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. We used a structure- and property-based drug design approach to identify 2-aminooxazoline 3-azaxanthenes as potent BACE1 inhibitors which significantly reduced CSF and brain Abeta levels in a rat pharmacodynamic model. Compared to the initial lead 2, compound 28 exhibited reduced potential for QTc prolongation in a non-human primate cardiovascular safety model.
