A pharmaceutical composition for inhibiting amyloid beta peptide in a subject includes a compound having the formula (I):
where M is selected from a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, halo, alkoxy, aryl, cyclic, or heterocyclic group;
p is an integer from 0-3;
X
1
is a 3-9 atoms in length linker connecting A and B;
B is selected from a substituted or unsubstituted aryl, alkoxy or amine group; and
a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; and a pharmaceutical carrier.

A drug library of 17200 compounds was screened to select small molecules that inhibit the secretion of amyloid beta peptide (Am, the major component of Alzheimer disease senile plaques, from a human neuronal cell line. Twenty-nine hits were validated that decreased A beta secretion by >40% at 10 mu M, for a 0.17% hit rate. A lead hit was selected for further study based on its activity and low cytotoxicity, and it was found to inhibit A beta secretion through activation of the alpha-secretase pathway. Twenty-four commercially available and 53 synthesized analogues were analyzed for activity. Selected analogues were evaluated for biological stability by incubation with hepatoma cells and for transcellular permeability using Caco-2 cell monolayers. The analogue with the best permeability was evaluated in 2-month old amyloid precursor protein transgenic mice and found to acutely reduce cerebral A beta levels by 40% after a single iv administration.

Here, we describe a new experimental approach to the synthesis of the beta-benzylmercaptoethylamine functionality, and illustrate its synthetic utility in multi-component reactions. Although prevalent in modern organic synthesis, no general methods have been described for this functionality. Using a carefully developed LiOH-water-ethanol reaction mixture, we were able to produce a diverse collection of beta-benzylmercaptoethylamines containing a range of sensitive functional groups in excellent yields. To further illustrate their utility in molecular library synthesis, we also report the use of beta-benzylmercaptoethylamines in five different multi-component reactions. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

Deuterium‐labelling experiments were performed to identify the stereodiscrimination step of this process. Further analysis of the reaction transition states, by means of multidimensional correlations and DFT calculations, highlight the existence of a set of weak noncovalent interactions between the catalyst and substrate that govern the enantioselectivity of the reaction.
