the production of β-amyloid, a component of the plaques that are found in brains of patients with Alzheimer’s disease. A novel series of heterocyclic sulfonamide γ-secretase inhibitors that reduce β-amyloid levels in cells is reported. Several examples of compounds within this series demonstrate a higher propensity to inhibit the processing of amyloid precursor protein compared to Notch, an alternative
业已证明,γ-分泌酶
抑制剂可减少β-淀粉样蛋白的产生,β-淀粉样蛋白是在阿尔茨海默氏病患者的大脑中发现的斑块的一种成分。据报道,一系列新的杂环磺酰胺γ-分泌酶
抑制剂可降低细胞中的β-淀粉样蛋白
水平。与Notch(一种替代的γ-分泌酶底物)相比,该系列化合物的几个实例显示出更高的抑制淀粉样蛋白前体蛋白加工的倾向。
