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

A series of amides bearing a variety of amidine head groups was investigated as BACE1 inhibitors with respect to inhibitory activity in a BACE1 enzyme as well as a cell-based assay. Determination of their basicity as well as their properties as substrates of P-glycoprotein revealed that a 2-amino-1,3-oxazine head group would be a suitable starting point for further development of brain penetrating compounds for potential Alzheimer's disease treatment.
