Discovery of Begacestat, a Notch-1-Sparing γ-Secretase Inhibitor for the Treatment of Alzheimer’s Disease
摘要:
SAR on HTS hits I and 2 led to the potent, Notch-l-sparing GSI 9, which lowered brain A beta in Tg2576 mice at 100 mg/kg po. Converting the metabolically labile methyl groups in 9 to trifluoromethyl groups afforded the more stable analogue 10, which had improved in vivo potency. Further side chain modification afforded the potent Notch-1-sparing GSI begacestat (5). which was selected for development for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
