摘要:
Recently, we reported a novel substrate-based octapeptide BACE1 inhibitor KMI-008 containing hydroxy-methylcarbonyl (HMC) isostere as a transition-state mimic. Using KMI-008 as a lead compound, a small-sized and highly potent BACE I inhibitor KMI-370 (IC50 = 3.4 nM) was designed and synthesized. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
