General description
A cell-permeable, reversible dipeptide aldehyde that reduces Aβ production by blocking γ-secretase activity in vitro (Aβ40 IC50 = 7.9 µM; Aβ42 IC50 = 7.6 µM) and in cultured CHO 2b-7 cells that stably overexpress APP695 (Aβ40 IC50 = 11.5 µM; Aβ42 IC50 = 8.3 µM). Also blocks the generation of CTFγ (γ-secretase-generated carboxyl-terminal fragment). Does not affect the formation of amyloid-β-precursor protein (APP).

Also shown to block the generation of γCTF (γ-secretase-generated carboxy-terminal fragment).
