Abstract
We have investigated a novel series of acid-derived γ-secretase modulators as a potential treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Optimization based on cellular potency and brain pharmacodynamics after oral dosing led to the discovery of 10a (BIIB042). Compound 10a is a potent γ-secretase modulator, which lowered Aβ42, increased Aβ38, but had little to no effect on Aβ40 levels both in vitro and in vivo. In addition, compound 10a did not affect ...
