LY2811376
Based on 13 publication(s) in Google Scholar
LY2811376 is the first orally available non-peptidic β-secretase (BACE1) inhibitor with IC50 of 239 nM-249 nM, that acts to decrease Aβ secretion with EC50 of 300 nM, and demonstrates to have 10-fold selectivity towards BACE1 over BACE2, and more than 50-fold inhibition over other aspartic proteases including cathepsin D, pepsin, or renin.

In an APP-overexpressing human embryonic kidney cell line, LY2811376 treatment yields a concentration-dependent decrease in Aβ secretion with a half-maximal effective concentration (EC50) of appr 300 nM. LY2811376 treatment of primary neuronal cultures of PDAPP transgenic mouse produces a concentration-dependent decrease in Aβ secretion with an EC50 of appr 100 nM[1]. LY2811376 has good ADME properties (BACE1 IC50=240 nM, cellular potency IC50=300 nM) and selectivity (BACE2 and cathepsin D selectivity: appr 10- and 65-fold, respectively)[3]. LY2811376 reduces the Aβ40 levels in cortex and plasma without change of health and weight in a dose-dependent manner[4].

Protocol
Sprague Dawley [Crl:CD(SD)] rats (10 per sex per group), appr 7 weeks of age, are given 0 (vehicle only), 10, 30, or 100 mg/kg LY2811376 by daily oral gavage. Vehicle consists of 1% (w/v) hydroxyethylcellulose, 0.25% (v/v) polysorbate 80, and 0.05% (v/v) Dow Corning Antifoam 1510-US in reverse osmosis water. At necropsy after 3 months of treatment, tissues are immersion fixed in 10% neutral-buffered formalin (brain) or modified Davidson's solution (eyes) and then processed by routine methods to paraffin block and hematoxylin-eosin (H&E)-stained histologic slides. From selected animals given 100 mg/kg on a subsequent investigative study, eyes are fixed in modified Karnovsky's solution, processed routinely into epoxy resin, and then ultrathin sections stained with uranyl acetate and Sato's lead citrate are examined in a transmission electron microscope. In a separate study, BACE1 knock-out mice (B6.129-Bace1tm1Pcw/J) are given 0 or 100 mg/kg LY2811376 by daily oral gavage for 9 weeks, and then necropsied tissues are collected and examined by light microscopy as described above for the rat toxicology study.
