Abstract: Using the approach of ligand-based drug design, we discovered a novel series of 4,6-disubstituted 2-aminopyrimidines as RAGE inhibitors. In transgenic mouse models of AD, one of the 4,6-bis(4-chlorophenyl)pyrimidine analogs, 59, significantly lowered the concentration of toxic soluble Aβ in the brain and improved cognitive function. SPR analysis confirmed the direct binding of 59 with RAGE, which should contribute to its biological activities via inhibition of the RAGE-Aβ interaction. We also predicted the binding mode of the 4,6-bis(4-chlorophenyl)pyrimidine analogs to the RAGE V-domain through flexible docking study.
