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 PubMedWe herein describe the design and synthesis of a series of BACE-1 inhibitors incorporating a P1-substituted hydroxylethylene transition state isostere. The synthetic route starting from commercially available carbohydrates yielded a pivotal lactone intermediate with excellent stereochemical control which subsequently could be diversified at the P1-position. The final inhibitors were optimized using three different amines to provide the residues in the P2'-P3' position and three different acids affording the residues in the P2-P3 position. In addition we report on the stereochemical preference of the P1'-methyl substituent in the synthesized inhibitors. All inhibitors were evaluated in an in vitro BACE-1 assay where the most potent inhibitor, 34-(R), exhibited a BACE-1 IC(50) value of 3.1 nM.
