PF-06751979 shows improved selectivity over BACE2 (IC50=194 nM) in binding (27-fold) relative to the literature examples and across multiple chemical series in BACE1 program.

PF-06751979 displays excellent brain penetration, potent in vivo efficacy, and broad selectivity over related aspartyl proteases including BACE2. Acute administration of PF-06751979 yields a robust dose-responsive and time-dependent reduction of cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) Aβx-40 with peak inhibition at 3 h of >77%.[1].
