Abstract: We describe the development of statine-based peptidomimetic inhibitors of human beta-secretase (BACE). The conversion of the peptide inhibitor 1 into cell-permeable peptidomimetic inhibitors of BACE was achieved through an iterative strategy of conceptually subdividing 1 into three regions: an N-terminal portion, a central statine-containing core, and a C-terminus. Replacement of the amino acid residues of 1 with moieties with less peptidic character was done with retention of BACE enzyme inhibitory activity. This approach led to the identification of the cell-permeable BACE inhibitor 38 that demonstrated BACE-mechanism-selective inhibition of Abeta secretion in human embryonic kidney cells.
