β-amyloid 1-15

β-Amyloid (1-15) (Amyloid β-Protein (1-15)) is a fragment of β-amyloid protein used in the study of Alzheimer's disease.

BACE1-IN-5 (Compound 15), a potent β-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1) inhibitor, demonstrates significant efficacy with an IC50 of 9.1 nM for BACE1 inhibition and an impressive IC50 of 0.82 nM against cellular amyloid-β (Aβ) production. Additionally, it is engineered to enhance hERG inhibition and P-gp efflux, indicating its optimized medicinal chemistry profile [1].

Acetyl-β Amyloid (15-20), Amide is a peptide fragment that inhibits β-sheet formation and stabilizes the structure of the Aβ (1–40) peptide, making it a useful tool in Alzheimer's disease research [1].
