In certain embodiments hydantoin compounds are provided herein that are effective to inhibit BACE activity against APP. Without being bound to a particular theory, it is believed the activity of the hydantoins identified herein appears to be associated with binding to BACE and/or to APP particularly when these moieties form a BACE/APP complex. Accordingly, it is believed the compounds described herein represent a new class of compounds designated herein as APP-Binding-BACE Inhibitors (ABBIs) and provide a new mechanism to modulate APP processing. The hydantoins described herein appear to show improved brain permeability and functional BACE inhibition.
在某些实施例中,本文提供了一些有效抑制
BACE对APP活性的
咪唑烷酮化合物。在没有受限于特定理论的情况下,据信此处识别的
咪唑烷酮的活性似乎与结合到
BACE和/或APP有关,特别是当这些基团形成
BACE/APP复合物时。因此,据信本文描述的化合物代表了一类新的化合物,被称为APP结合
BACE
抑制剂(A
