Synthesis of a potent photoreactive acidic γ-secretase modulator for target identification in cells
摘要:
Supramolecular self-assembly of amyloidogenic peptides is closely associated with numerous pathological conditions. For instance, Alzheimers disease (AD) is characterized by abundant amyloid plaques originating from the proteolytic cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) by beta- and gamma-secretases. Compounds named gamma-secretase modulators (GSMs) can shift the substrate cleavage specificity of gamma-secretase toward the production of non-amyloidogenic, shorter A beta fragments. Herein, we describe the synthesis of highly potent acidic GSMs, equipped with a photoreactive diazirine moiety for photoaffinity labeling. The probes labeled the N-terminal fragment of presenilin (the catalytic subunit of gamma-secretase), supporting a mode of action involving binding to gamma-secretase. This fundamental step toward the elucidation of the molecular mechanism governing the GSM-induced shift in gamma-secretase proteolytic specificity should pave the way for the development of improved drugs against AD.

[EN] Compounds of formula (I), selectively inhibit production of Aß (1-42) and hence are useful in treatment or prevention of disease assocaited with deposition of ß -amyloid in the brain. [FR] La présente invention décrit des composés de formule (I) qui inhibent de façon sélective la production de Aß (1-42), et peuvent donc être employés dans le traitement prophylactique ou thérapeutique de maladies associées au dépôt de ß-amyloïde dans le cerveau.
