Abstract excerpt
We have designed new non-peptidic potential inhibitors of gamma-secretase and examined their ability to prevent production of amyloid-beta 40 (Abeta40) and Abeta42 by human cells expressing wild-type and Swedish-mutant beta-amyloid precursor protein (betaAPP). Here we identify three such agents that markedly reduce recovery of both Abeta40 and Abeta42 produced by both cell lines, and increase that of C99 and C83,...
