BACE-1 in complex with ELN380842
Structural highlights
FunctionBACE1_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 PubMedHerein we describe further evolution of hydroxyethylamine inhibitors of BACE-1 with enhanced permeability characteristics necessary for CNS penetration. Variation at the P2' position of the inhibitor with more polar substituents led to compounds 19 and 32, which retained the potency of more lipophilic analog 1 but with much higher observed passive permeability in MDCK cellular assay.
