MW 390.4 Da, Purity >98%. Potent and selective BACE-1 inhibitor (IC50 = 20.3 nM for recombinant hBACE-1). Human BACE2 is inhibited with an IC50 of 10.2 nM. Does not inhibit other aspartyl proteases such as cathepsin D, pepsin, and renin. A potential agent to treat Alzheimer's Disease. Inhibits production of Aβ in HEK-293 Swe cells (IC50 values are 18.5 nM and 19.7 nM for Aβ1-40 and Aβ1-42 respectively) and in PDAPP neuronal cells (IC50 ~10 nM). Reduces dose-dependently brain levels of Aβ, C99 and sAPPβ in orally administered mouse model and plasma Aβ in dog model. Ppenetrates the blood-brain barrier.

Biological function summary
BACE1 initiates the amyloidogenic pathway of APP processing which involves amyloid-beta generation. BACE1 doesn't function alone but acts as part of a complex that aids in protein substrate recognition and processing. Its activity contributes to physiological processes like myelination and axonal guidance indicating its importance beyond amyloid production.
Pathways
BACE1 is integral to the amyloidogenic pathway which is important in Alzheimer's disease development. It interacts with proteins such as presenilin 1 a part of the gamma-secretase complex that further processes the amyloid-beta precursor. Furthermore BACE1 links to synaptic functions and neural signaling pathways highlighting its multifaceted roles.
