Design and Synthesis of Novel Arylketo-containing P1-P3 Linked Macro-cyclic BACE-1 Inhibitors
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 permeability compared to earlier synthesized inhibitors and notably also with retained activities, showing that this approach might yield BACE-1 inhibitors with improved properties.

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...
متن کاملDesign and Synthesis of Hydroxyethylene-Based BACE-1 Inhibitors Incorporating Extended P1 Substituents
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 wi...

A new series of peptide-like derivatives containing different aromatic amino acids andpossessing pharmacophores of COX-2 inhibitors as SO2Me or N3 attached to the para positionof an end phenyl ring was synthesized for evaluation as selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)inhibitors. The synthetic reactions were based on the solid phase peptide synthesis methodusing Wang resin. One of the analogues, i...

Design, synthesis and evaluation of very potent and selective β-Secretase 2 (memapsin 1, BACE 2) inhibitors are described. The inhibitors were designed specifically to interact with the S2'-site of β-secretase 2 to provide >170,000-fold selectivity over β-secretase (BACE 1) and >15,000-fold selectivity over cathepsin D. BACE 2 is implicated in Type 2 diabetes. The studies serve as an important ...
