In the past, major efforts in designing BACE1 inhibitors were focused on the transition state analogs such as hydroxyethylamines, hydroxyethylene, and tatine-based peptidomimetic inhibitors but their relatively large sizes and excessive number of hydrogen-bond donors and acceptors made it difficult for them to penetrate the blood brain barrier. Therefore the scientific community focused on other coompounds.
