Description

Application

L-685,458 has been used to attenuate Notch signalling in ovary culture.[1] It has also been used to analyze the specificity of the γ-secretase activity in brain tissue samples.[2]

Biochem/physiol Actions

L-685,458 is a potent, selective, structurally novel γ-secretase inhibitor; equipotent inhibitor of both Aβ_1-42 and Aβ_1-40 production.

L-685,458 mimics the transition state in aspartyl protease. It possesses an IC50 of 17nM with respect to inhibition of Aβ synthesis.[3] It is known to block Notch (neurogenic locus notch homolog protein) signaling, which in turn reduces ERK (extracellular signal regulated kinase) phosphorylation by EGF (epidermal growth factor).[4] L-685,458 targets the active site and substrate binding site of the enzyme.[5]
