During the course of our research efforts to develop a potent and selective γ-secretase inhibitor for treatment Alzheimer's disease, we investigated series carboxamide-substituted sulfonamides. Optimization based on potency, Notch/amyloid-β precursor protein selectivity, brain efficacy after oral dosing led discovery 4 (BMS-708163). Compound is (Aβ40 IC50 = 0.30 nM), demonstrating 193-fold selectivity against Notch. Oral administration significantly reduced Aβ40 levels sustained periods in...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease. Amyloid beta (Abeta) peptides are hypothesized to cause the initiation and progression of AD based on pathologic data from patients, genetic analysis mutations that early onset forms AD, preclinical studies. Based this hypothesis, beta-site amyloid precursor protein (APP)-cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1) inhibitors an attractive therapeutic approach for because cleavage APP by BACE1 required form Abeta.

[reaction: see text] Substituted 1-tosyl-3-vinylindoles undergo catalytic asymmetric cyclopropanation with ethyl- and tert-butyldiazoacetate to afford N-protected trans-2-(indol-3-yl)-1-cyclopropanecarboxylic esters in good yield high enantiomeric excess (81-88% ee). The resulting cycloadducts are demonstrated be useful intermediates for the synthesis of conformationally restricted, homotryptamine-like analogues such as BMS-505130.
A series of indole cyclopropylmethylamines were found to be potent serotonin reuptake inhibitors. Nitrile substituents at the 5 and 7 positions ring gave high affinity for hSERT, preferred cyclopropane stereochemistry was determined (1S,2S)-trans. The cis-cyclopropanes had 20- 30-fold less than trans, cis (1R,2S)-cis. Substitution N-1 position with methyl or ethyl groups a 10- decrease in suggesting either hydrogen-bonding interaction limited steric tolerance region nitrogen. Compound...

Alzheimer’s disease is the most prevalent cause of dementia and associated with accumulation amyloid- β peptide (A ), particularly 42-amino acid A 1-42, in brain. 1-42 levels can be decreased by γ -secretase modulators (GSM), which are small molecules that modulate -secretase, an enzyme essential for production.

Truncation of the S3 substituent biaryl aminothiazine 2, a potent BACE1 inhibitor, led to low molecular weight 5 with moderate activity. Despite its activity, compound demonstrated significant brain Aβ reduction in rodents. The metabolic instability was overcome by replacement 6-dimethylisoxazole, soft spot, pyrimidine ring. Thus, truncation represents viable approach discovery orally bioavailable, brain-penetrant inhibitors.
