RESUMO
Genetic evidence points to deposition of amyloid-ß (Aß) as a causal factor for Alzheimer's disease. Aß generation is initiated when ß-secretase (BACE1) cleaves the amyloid precursor protein. Starting with an oxazine lead 1, we describe the discovery of a thiazine-based BACE1 inhibitor 5 with robust Aß reduction in vivo at low concentrations, leading to a low projected human dose of 14 mg/day where 5 achieved sustained Aß reduction of 80% at trough level.
