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 diastereoselective synthesis and structure activity relationship (SAR) of a series of fused cyclopropyl-3-amino-2,4-oxazine (2-oxa-4-azabicyclo[4.1.0]hept-3-en-3-amine)-containing BACE inhibitors is described. Through these efforts compound 2 was identified as a potent (cell IC50 = 15nM) BACE inhibitor with acceptable ADME properties. When tested in vivo, compound 2 demonstrated a significant reduction of brain and cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) Abeta40 levels (46% and 66%, respectively) in a rat pharmacodynamic study and thus represents a suitable starting point for the further development of in vivo efficacious compounds for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
