X-ray structure of BACE1 in complex with a bicyclic isoxazoline carboxamide as the P3 ligand
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 PubMedWe describe the design, synthesis, X-ray studies, and biological evaluation of novel BACE1 inhibitors containing bicyclic isoxazoline carboxamides as the P3 ligand in combination with methyl cysteine, methylsulfonylalanine and Boc-amino alanine as P2 ligands. Inhibitor 3a displayed a BACE1 Ki value of 10.9nM and EC50 of 343nM. The X-ray structure of 3a bound to the active site of BACE1 was determined at 2.85A resolution. The structure revealed that the major molecular interactions between BACE1 and the bicyclic tetrahydrofuranyl isoxazoline heterocycle are van der Waals in nature.
