It is presumed that the regulation of beta-site APP-deaving enzyme 1 (BACE1), the rate-limiting enzyme in metabolism of Aβ, would be a key site. Neuro-2a/amyloid precursor protein 695 (APP695) cell models of cerebral isch- emia were established by oxygen-glucose deprivation to investigate the effects of Rapamycin (an autophagy inducer) or 3-methyladenine (an autophagy inhibitor) on the expression of BACE1. Either oxygen-glucose deprivation or Rapamycin down-regulated the expression of BACE1 while 3-methyladenine up-regulated BACE1 expression. These results confirm that oxygen-glucose deprivation down-regulates BACE1 expression in Neuro-2a/APP695 cells through the introduction of autophagy.展开更多

This represents a good lead for the discovery of more promising BACE1 inhibitors for the potential treatment of AD. The result also showed that the prop-2-yn-1-yloxy is a suitable fragment for modification of cyclic acylguanidine BACE1 inhibitors.展开更多
