β-Secretase inhibitor IV is an inhibitor of β-site amyloid protein cleaving enzymes (BACE/β-secretase) 1 and 2 (IC50s = 15 and 230 nM for human BACE1 and 2, respectively).1 It has >500-fold selectivity for BACE1 and 2 over the aspartyl proteases renin and cathepsin D. β-Secretase inhibitor IV inhibits secretion of amyloid-β (Aβ) precursor protein (APP; IC50 = 29 nM) in HEK293T cells transfected with a truncated APP. It also inhibits formation of the Aβ peptides Aβ38, Aβ40, and Aβ42 in primary chick neurons (IC50s = 3.7, 4.7, and 4.8 nM, respectively).2
