γ-Secretase is a multi-subunit aspartyl protease that cleaves amyloid precursor protein (APP) and many other type 1 transmembrane proteins, including Notch, E-cadherin, and ErbB4. The proteolysis of APP by secretases produces beta amyloid (Aβ), a 39- to 42-amino acid peptide which forms the amyloid plaques that are characteristic of Alzheimer’s disease. DBZ is a dipeptidic inhibitor of γ-secretase that potently blocks the cleavage of Notch into its active signaling effector, Notch intracellular domain, in human T cell lymphoma (SupT1) cells (IC₅₀ = 1.7 nM). Within 4 hours after a single 100 μM/kg dose, DBZ demonstrates anti-Alzheimer activity in an APP transgenic mouse model characterized by high levels of Aβ40 by reducing Aβ40 levels by 71%.
