| Targets |
Target: Elenbecestat targets BACE1 (beta-site APP cleaving enzyme 1), a key enzyme in the production of amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides. BACE1 cleaves amyloid precursor protein (APP) at the β-secretase site, initiating the production of Aβ peptides. By inhibiting BACE1 activity, Elenbecestat reduces cleavage of APP and subsequent production of Aβ40 and Aβ42 peptides. This prevents aggregation of Aβ into toxic oligomers and protofibrils that form amyloid plaques in the brain.
|
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In Vitro Activity: Elenbecestat demonstrates potent BACE1 inhibitory activity in biochemical assays. It reduces Aβ production in cell-based models. Detailed IC50 values and specific in vitro activity data are available from the primary literature. The compound shows high potency against BACE1 with favorable selectivity over other aspartyl proteases. It effectively lowers Aβ40 and Aβ42 levels in cell culture supernatants in a concentration-dependent manner.
|
| ln Vivo |
In Vivo Activity: Elenbecestat reduces plasma beta-amyloid levels after single dosing in preclinical models. It demonstrates brain penetration and central Aβ reduction. The compound has been evaluated in animal models of Alzheimer's disease. In clinical trials, Elenbecestat was investigated for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. However, development was discontinued due to potential liver enzyme elevations and risk-benefit considerations.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In Vitro Enzyme/Receptor Binding Protocol: BACE1 enzymatic activity assays typically use recombinant BACE1 enzyme and a fluorogenic or luminescent peptide substrate based on the APP β-secretase cleavage site. Inhibition is measured by decreased substrate cleavage in the presence of varying concentrations of Elenbecestat. IC50 values are determined from dose-response curves. Selectivity assays against related aspartyl proteases such as BACE2, cathepsin D, and renin are performed to assess specificity.
|
| Cell Assay |
In Vitro Cell-Based Assay Protocol: Cell-based assays using neuronal cell lines or primary neurons expressing APP are used to measure Aβ production. Cells are treated with Elenbecestat at various concentrations, and secreted Aβ40 and Aβ42 levels in conditioned media are measured by ELISA or immunoassay. Compound effect on cell viability is also assessed using standard cytotoxicity assays such as MTT or LDH release. Blood-brain barrier penetration can be assessed using in vitro BBB models.
|
| Animal Protocol |
In Vivo Animal Assay Protocol: Transgenic mouse models of Alzheimer's disease (such as APP/PS1 or Tg2576 mice) are used for in vivo efficacy studies. Elenbecestat is administered orally, and plasma and brain Aβ levels are measured at various time points. Chronic dosing studies assess amyloid plaque burden and cognitive function using behavioral tests such as Morris water maze. Pharmacodynamic markers including Aβ levels in cerebrospinal fluid are measured.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
Pharmacokinetics: Elenbecestat is orally bioavailable and penetrates the blood-brain barrier. After oral administration, it reduces plasma Aβ levels. Detailed PK parameters including half-life, Cmax, and brain penetration have been characterized in preclinical and clinical studies. The compound's ability to cross the blood-brain barrier is essential for its central nervous system target engagement. Elimination pathways and metabolite profiles have been studied in the context of clinical development.
|
| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
Toxicity: Elenbecestat was evaluated in clinical trials for Alzheimer's disease. However, elevated liver enzymes were observed in 2 patients, leading to the discontinuation of the trial in May 2018. The primary reason for discontinuation was the potential risk of liver toxicity. No other significant toxicity concerns were reported at therapeutic doses. Comprehensive toxicity data are available from clinical studies. The compound is for research use only and is not clinically approved.

| Additional Infomation |
Additional Information: Elenbecestat has CAS number 1388149-39-0, molecular formula C19H15F6N5O2S, and molecular weight 491.41. It is also known as E-2609, E2609, and E 2609. The compound is a BACE1 inhibitor with potential for Alzheimer's disease treatment. By inhibiting BACE, a key enzyme in Aβ peptide production, E2609 decreases formation of toxic oligomers and protofibrils that form amyloid plaques. Clinical development was discontinued due to liver enzyme elevation risk. For research use only, not for human therapy.
