Title
2-amino-3,4-dihydroquinazolines as inhibitors of BACE-1 (-site APP cleaving enzyme) : use of structure based design to convert a micromolar hit into a nanomolar lead

Abstract
A new aspartic protease inhibitory chemotype bearing a 2-amino-3,4-dihydroquinazoline ring was identified by high-throughput screening for the inhibition of BACE-1. X-ray crystallography revealed that the exocyclic amino group participated in a hydrogen bonding array with the two catalytic aspartic acids of BACE-1 (Asp(32), Asp(228)). BACE-1 inhibitory potency was increased (0.9 mu M to 11 nM K-i) by substitution into the unoccupied S-1 ' pocket.
