Synthesis and Biological Activities of (4-Arylpiperazinyl)piperidines as Nonpeptide BACE 1 Inhibitors

摘要

Inhibition of BACE 1 activity is considered as a promising therapeutic target for Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). Synthesis and inhibitory activities of (4-arylpiperazinyl)piperidines by bioisosteric replacement of a biaryl group with an arylpiperazine as BACE 1 inhibitors are described. The resulting (4-arylpiperazinyl)piperidines represent novel nonpeptide BACE 1 inhibitors with improved in vitro potency.
