Title:

Piperazine sulfonamide BACE1 inhibitors: design, synthesis, and in vivo characterization.

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2010 May 1;20(9):2837-42. Epub 2010 Mar 12.

Abstract:

With collaboration between chemistry, X-ray crystallography, and molecular modeling, we designed and synthesized a series of novel piperazine sulfonamide BACE1 inhibitors. Iterative exploration of the non-prime side and S2' sub-pocket of the enzyme culminated in identification of an analog that potently lowers peripheral Abeta(40) in transgenic mice with a single subcutaneous dose.
