A cell-permeable hydroxyethylene dipeptide isostere that acts as a highly specific and a potent inhibitor of γ-secretase (Aβtotal IC50 = 17 nM, Aβ40 IC50 = 48 nM, and Aβ42 IC50 = 67 nM in SHSY5Y cells overexpressing spβA4CTF). Binds to presenilin and blocks Notch intracellular domain production. Functions as a transition state analog mimic at the catalytic site of an aspartyl protease, however, it exhibits over 100-fold greater selectivity for γ-secretase than for cathepsin D.

Binds to presenilin and blocks Notch intracellular domain production. Also reported to block the formation of εCTF, resulting in the accumulation of α- and βCTF. Functions as a transition state analog mimic at the catalytic site of an aspartyl protease, however, it exhibits over 100-fold greater selectivity for γ-secretase than for cathepsin D.

Several studies including ours reported the detrimental effects of extracellular tau oligomers (ex-oTau) on glutamatergic synaptic transmission and plasticity. Astrocytes greatly internalize ex-oTau whose intracellular accumulation alters neuro/gliotransmitter handling thereby negatively affecting synaptic function. Both amyloid precursor protein (APP) and
Aberrant Notch activation confers a proliferative advantage to many human tumors, including melanoma. This phase 2 trial assessed the antitumor activity of RO4929097, a gamma-secretase inhibitor of Notch signaling, with respect to the progression-free and overall survival of patients with
Cleavage of membrane proteins in the lipid bilayer by intramembrane proteases is crucial for health and disease. Although different lipid environments can potently modulate their activity, how this is linked to their structural dynamics is unclear. Here, we show that
Lung cancer maintains a relatively small survival rate (~19%) over a 5-year period and up to 80-85% of all lung cancer diagnoses are Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). To determine whether metformin reduces non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) LL/2 cell

Imbalances in the amounts of amyloid-β peptides (Aβ) generated by the membrane proteases β- and γ-secretase are considered as a trigger of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Cell-free studies of γ-secretase have shown that increasing membrane thickness modulates Aβ generation but it
