AZ-4217 is a high potency BACE inhibitor displaying acute central efficacy in different in vivo models and reduced amyloid deposition in Tg2576 mice. AZ-4217 has IC50 160 pM in human SH-SY5Y cells with an excellent in vivo efficacy. AZ-4217 may have potential for treatment of AD. BACE1 inhibition thus addresses a key mechanism in AD and its potential as a therapeutic target is currently being addressed in clinical studies.

AZ-4217 is an inhibitor for β-site amyloid precursor protein cleavage enzyme 1 (BACE1), with IC50 of 160 pM in human SH-SY5Y cells. AZ-4217 reduces amyloid deposition in Tg2576 mouse models, and is used for Alzheimer’s Disease research[1].
