Crystal structure of human beta-secretase in complex with NVP-BAV544
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] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedThe macrocyclic peptidic BACE-1 inhibitors 2a-c show moderate enzymatic and cellular activity. By exchange of the hydroxyethylene- to ethanolamine-transition state mimetic the peptidic character was reduced, providing the highly potent and selective inhibitor 3. Variation of the P' moiety resulted in the macrocyclic inhibitor 14. Both macrocycles show inhibition of BACE-1 in the brain of APP51/16 transgenic mice, 3 (NB-544) after intravenous and 14 (NB-533) after oral application.
