Carbamate-appended N-alkylsulfonamides as inhibitors of gamma-secretase

Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2008 Jan 15;18(2):464-8. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2007.11.102. Epub 2007 Dec 3.

Abstract

The synthesis and gamma-secretase inhibition data for a series of carbamate-appended N-alkylsulfonamides are described. Carbamate 54 was found to significantly reduce brain Abeta in transgenic mice. 54 was also found to possess markedly improved brain levels in transgenic mice compared to previously disclosed 1 and 2.
