Notes: Accumulation of the β-amyloid (Aβ) peptide in the brain is implicated as the primary cause of neurodegeneration and progression of Alzheimer’s disease.{16791} Aβ is derived from sequential proteolytic cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) by β-secretase (BACE) and γ-secretase.{16790} LY2811376 is a non-peptide inhibitor of BACE1 (IC50 = 239 nM for the synthetic peptide) that demonstrates ~10-fold selectivity over BACE2 and >50-fold selectivity over the aspartyl proteases cathepsin D, pepsin, and renin.{27584} LY2811376 treatment in APP-overexpressing cells and transgenic animal models yields a dose-dependent decrease in Aβ.{27584} Furthermore, LY2811376 has been reported to reduce C99 and sAPPβ, the two primary APP cleavage products generated by BACE1.{27584}
