Anatabine dicitrate is a tobacco alkaloid that can cross the blood-brain barrier. It is a potent α4β2 nAChR agonist and inhibits NF-κB activation lower amyloid-β (Aβ) production by preventing the β-cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein.
ELN 318463 shows differential inhibition of presenilin (PS1)- and PS2-comprised γ-secretase with EC50s of 12 nM and 656 nM for PS1 and PS2, respectively. ELN 318463 is 51-fold more selective for PS1.ELN 318463 is an amyloid precursor protein (APP) selective γ-secretase inhibitor.
Leucyl-phenylalanine amide is an intermediate in the synthesis of γ-Secretase Inhibitor, the enzyme complex that catalyzes the cleavage of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) to produce amyloid β-peptide (Aβ) which is the major causative agent in Alzheime
