The structure of the catalytic domain of human memapsin 2 bound to an inhibitor OM00-3 (Glu-Leu-Asp-LeuAla-Val-Glu-Phe, K(i) = 0.3 nM, the asterisk denotes the hydroxyethylene transition-state isostere) has been determined at 2.1 A resolution. Uniquely defined in the structure are the locations of S(3)' and S(4)' subsites, which were not identified in the previous structure of memapsin 2 in complex with the inhibitor OM99-2 (Glu-Val-Asn-LeuAla-Ala-Glu-Phe, K(i) = 1 nM). Different binding modes for the P(2) and P(4) side chains are also observed. These new structural elements are useful for the design of new inhibitors. The structural and kinetic data indicate that the replacement of the P(2)' alanine in OM99-2 with a valine in OM00-3 stabilizes the binding of P(3)' and P(4)'.

Herein we present the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of potent and highly selective β-secretase 2 (memapsin 1, beta-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 2, or BACE 2) inhibitors. BACE2 has been recognized as an exciting new target for type 2 diabetes. The X-ray structure of BACE1 bound to inhibitor 2 a {N -[(1S,2R)-1-benzyl-2-hydroxy-3-[[(1S,2S)-2-hydroxy-1-(isobutylcarbamoyl)propyl]amino]propyl]-5-[methyl(methylsulfonyl)amino]-N -[(1R)-1-phenylpropyl]benzene-1,3-dicarboxamide} containing a hydroxyethylamine isostere was determined.

We describe the design, synthesis, X-ray studies, and biological evaluation of novel BACE1 inhibitors containing bicyclic isoxazoline carboxamides as the P3 ligand in combination with methyl cysteine, methylsulfonylalanine and Boc-amino alanine as P2 ligands. Inhibitor 3a displayed a BACE1 K value of 10.9 nM and EC of 343 nM.

We report the design and synthesis of a series of BACE1 inhibitors incorporating mono- and bicyclic 6-substituted 2-oxopiperazines as novel P1' and P2' ligands and isophthalamide derivative as P2-P3 ligands. Among mono-substituted 2-oxopiperazines, inhibitor 5a with N-benzyl-2-oxopiperazine and isophthalamide showed potent BACE1 inhibitory activity (K=2nM). Inhibitor 5g, with N-benzyl-2-oxopiperazine and substituted indole-derived P2-ligand showed a reduction in potency.

A number of drugs exhibit unexpected pharmacological effects related to their ability to bind more than one receptor in humans. Haloperidol a typical antipsychotic drug appeared in several reports to be used in schizophrenia patients in which the significant of Alzheimer's disease has been reduced. The etiology of the disease is characterized by aggregates of amyloid plaques, largely composed of amyloid-β peptide formed from the amyloid precursor protein cleaved by Memapsin 2.

We describe structure-based design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of a series of novel inhibitors bearing a pyrazole (compounds 3a-h) or a thiazole moiety (compounds 4a-e) as the P3 ligand. We have also explored Boc-β-amino-l-alanine as a novel P2 ligand. A number of inhibitors have displayed β-secretase inhibitory potency.
