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
Previous structure based optimization in our laboratories led to the identification of a novel, high-affinity cyclic sulfone hydroxyethylamine-derived inhibitor such as 1 that lowers CNS-derived Abeta following oral administration to transgenic APP51/16 mice. Herein we report SAR development in the S3 and S2' subsites of BACE1 for cyclic sulfoxide hydroxyethyl amine inhibitors, the synthetic approaches employed in this effort, and in vivo data for optimized compound such as 11d.
