Abstract excerpt
1 The beta-secretase BACE1 is one of the enzymes that contribute to the production of the Abeta peptide, in vitro and in vivo. JMV1195 was previously shown to inhibit BACE activity in vitro but was unable to block cellular BACE activity. We have designed a new permeable inhibitor, JMV2764 that corresponds to a derivative of JMV1195 to which a penetratin sequence had been added at its N-terminus. We have assessed...
