== Function ==
[[http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/BACE1_HUMAN 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.<ref>PMID:10677483</ref> <ref>PMID:20354142</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
beta-Secretase (BACE-1) is an attractive therapeutic target for the treatment and prevention of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Herein, we describe the discovery of a novel class of BACE-1 inhibitors represented by sulfamide 14g, using a medicinal chemistry strategy to optimize CNS penetration by minimizing hydrogen bond donors (HBD) and reducing P-glycoprotein (P-gp) mediated efflux. We have also taken advantage of the combination of structure based drug design (SBDD) to guide the optimization of the sulfamide analogs and the in-silico tool WaterMap to explain the observed SAR. Compound 14g is a potent inhibitor of BACE-1 with excellent permeability and a moderate P-gp liability. Administration of 14g to mice produced a significant, dose-dependent reduction in central AbetaX-40 levels at a free drug exposure equivalent to the whole cell IC(50) (100 nM). Furthermore, studies in the P-gp knock-out mouse provided evidence that efflux transporters impacted the amount of Abeta lowering versus that observed in wild-type (WT) mouse at equivalent dose.
