bace-1-in-4

Compound AK-2, also known as hAChE hBACE-1-IN-4, is a quinazoline derivative that demonstrates significant inhibitory activity against the enzymes hAChE and hBACE-1 (hAChE, IC 50 = 0.283 μM; hBACE-1, IC 50 = 0.231 μM). This compound also shows potential in inhibiting Aβ aggregation and possesses characteristics such as non-neurotoxicity, blood-brain barrier permeability, and oral activity, making it a valuable agent for research in Alzheimer's disease [1].

BACE1-IN-4 is a potent and highly selective BACE1 inhibitor (IC50: 3.8 nM; Ki: 1.9 nM), exhibiting greater selectivity for BACE1 over BACE2.

BACE-IN-1 acetate (BACE-IN-1 acetate (350228-37-4,Free base)) has been used as β-site amyloid precursor protein (APP) cleaving enzyme-1 (BACE1) inhibitor in BACE1 inhibitor assay. β-Site amyloid precursor protein (APP) cleaving enzyme-1 (BACE1), an aspartic protease belongs to the protease family of enzymes comprises of six luminal cysteine residues. These residues help in the formation of three intermolecular disulfide bonds and N-linked glycosylation sites.
