?-Secretase is a multi-subunit aspartyl protease that cleaves amyloid precursor protein (APP) and many other type 1 transmembrane proteins, including Notch, E-cadherin, and ErbB4.{18537} The proteolysis of APP by secretases produces beta amyloid (A?), a 39- to 42-amino acid peptide which forms the amyloid plaques that are characteristic of Alzheimer’s disease.{10614} DBZ is a dipeptidic inhibitor of ?-secretase that potently blocks the cleavage of Notch into its active signaling effector, Notch intracellular domain, in human T cell lymphoma (SupT1) cells (IC50 = 1.7 nM).{23310} Within 4 hours after a single 100 ?M/kg dose, DBZ demonstrates anti-Alzheimer activity in an APP transgenic mouse model characterized by high levels of A?40 by reducing A?40 levels by 71%.{23310}
