Structure-Based Design and Synthesis of Macroheterocyclic Peptidomimetic Inhibitors of the Aspartic Protease β-Site Amyloid Precursor Protein Cleaving Enzyme (BACE)
synthesized in enantiomerically pure form using enzyme-catalyzed desymmetrization and diastereomer separation. Inhibitory activity on beta-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme (BACE) was observed with several macroheterocyclic inhibitors and structure-activity relationship (SAR) correlations were deduced. Cocrystal structures of two synthetic analogues revealed interesting and unexpected binding
