An effective approach for enhancing the selectivity of beta-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme (BACE 1) inhibitors is developed based on the unique features of the S1' pocket of the enzyme. A series of low molecular weight ( < 600) compounds were synthesized with different moieties at the P1' position. The selectivity of BACE 1 inhibitors versus cathepsin D and renin was enhanced 120-fold by replacing the hydrophobic propyl group with a hydrophilic propionic acid group. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd.
