Design and Synthesis of Hydroxyethylene-Based BACE-1 Inhibitors Incorporating Extended P1 Substituents
نویسندگان
چکیده
Novel BACE-1 inhibitors with a hydroxyethylene central core have been developed. Modified P1´ and extended P1 substituents were incorporated with the aim to explore potential interactions with the S1´ and the S1-S3 pocket, respectively, of BACE-1. Inhibitors were identified displaying IC50 values in the nanomolar range, i.e. 69 nM for the most potent compound. Possible inhibitor interactions with the enzyme are also discussed.

Design and Synthesis of Inhibitors Targeting BACE-1, an Aspartic Protease Involved in the Pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s Disease
"Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new." Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia, occurring in an estimated 24 million people worldwide. Accumulation of amyloid-β peptides leads to development of plaques in the brain, which eventually stimulates hyperphosphorylation of tau proteins leading to tangles. This is believed to play a crucial ro...

A series of P1-P3 linked macrocyclic BACE-1 inhibitors containing a hydroxyethylamine (HEA) isostere scaffold has been synthesized. All inhibitors comprise a toluene or N-phenylmethanesulfonamide P2 moiety. Excellent BACE-1 potencies, both in enzymatic and cell-based assays, were observed in this series of target compounds, with the best candidates displaying cell-based IC(50) values in the low...

A series of arylketo-containing P1-P3 linked macrocyclic BACE-1 inhibitors were designed, synthesized, and compared with compounds with a previously known and extensively studied corresponding P2 isophthalamide moiety with the aim to improve on permeability whilst retaining the enzyme- and cell-based activities. Several inhibitors displayed substantial increases in Caco-2 cell-based permeabilit...
متن کاملRational design, synthesis, and crystallographic analysis of a hydroxyethylene-based HIV-1 protease inhibitor containing a heterocyclic P1'--P2' amide bond isostere.
The rational design and synthesis of a highly potent inhibitor of HIV-1 protease have been accomplished. The inhibitor, SB 206343, is based on a model derived from the structure of the MVT-101/HIV-1 protease complex and contains a 4(5)-acylimidazole ring as an isosteric replacement for the P1'--P2' amide bond. It is a competitive inhibitor with an apparent inhibition constant of 0.6 nM at pH 6....
متن کاملDesign and synthesis of HIV-1 protease inhibitors incorporating oxazolidinones as P2/P2' ligands in pseudosymmetric dipeptide isosteres.
A series of novel HIV-1 protease inhibitors based on two pseudosymmetric dipeptide isosteres have been synthesized and evaluated. The inhibitors were designed by incorporating N-phenyloxazolidinone-5-carboxamides into the hydroxyethylene and (hydroxyethyl)hydrazine dipeptide isosteres as P2 and P2' ligands. Compounds with (S)-phenyloxazolidinones attached at a position proximal to the central h...
