Abstract

(Chemical Equation Presented) Structure-based drug design was used to incorporate the traditional hydroxyethyl amine aspartyl protease inhibitor motif into 2,3,5-substituted imidazolidin-4-one structures with good BACE-1 enzyme inhibitory potency. These compounds represent a promising drug target for Alzheimer's disease-modifying therapy and are therefore of interest to the medicinal chemistry community.
