Molecular-modeling based design, synthesis, and activity of substituted piperidines as γ-secretase inhibitors
摘要:
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a debilitating disease widely thought to be associated with the accumulation of beta amyloid (A beta) in the brain. Inhibition of gamma-secretase, one of the enzymes responsible for A beta production, may be a useful strategy for the treatment of AD. Described below is a series of gamma-secretase inhibitors designed from a scaffold identified by a ROCS [J. Comput. Chem. 1996, 17, 1653] search of the corporate database. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd.
