We have previously reported potent substrate-based pentapeptidic BACE1 inhibitors possessing a hydroxymethylcarbonyl isostere as a substrate transition-state mimic. While these inhibitors exhibited potent activities in enzymatic and cellular assays (KMI-429 in particular inhibited A beta production in vivo), these inhibitors contained some natural amino acids that seemed to be required to improve enzymatic stability in vivo and permeability across the blood-brain barrier, so as to be practical drug. Recently, we synthesized non-peptidic and small-sized BACE1 inhibitors possessing a heterocyclic scaffold at the P-2 position. Herein we report the SAR study of BACE1 inhibitors possessing this heterocyclic scaffold, a chelidonic or 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic moiety. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
