A series of potent hydroxyethyl amine (HEA) derived inhibitors of β-site APP cleaving enzyme (BACE1) was optimized to address suboptimal pharmacokinetics and poor CNS partitioning. This work identified a series of benzodioxolane analogues that possessed improved metabolic stability and increased oral bioavailability. Subsequent efforts focused on improving CNS exposure by limiting susceptibility to Pgp-mediated efflux and identified an inhibitor which demonstrated robust and sustained reduction of CNS β-amyloid (Aβ) in Sprague-Dawley rats following oral administration.

A complex structure of HIV-1 protease with a hydroxyethylamine-containing inhibitor Boc-Phe-Psi[(S)-CH(OH)CH2NH]-Phe-Gln-Phe-NH2 has been determined by X-ray diffraction to 1.8 A resolution. The inhibitor is bound in the active site of the protease dimer with its hydroxyethylamine isostere participating in hydrogen bonds to the catalytic aspartates 25 and 25' and glycine 27' of the active site triads via five hydrogen bonds.
