Popis: A series of 3, 5-disubstituted benzimidamides were synthesized and biologically evaluated as potential BACE1 inhibitors. Both the targeted compounds (benzimidamides) and the synthetic intermediates (benzonitriles) were tested for their BACE1 inhibitory activities in a cell-free FRET assay. All the synthesized benzimidamides were active as BACE1 inhibitors and compound 6d showed the lowest IC50 value of 3.35 μm. Molecular docking study proposed a binding mode, which would help to the further optimization on 6d to achieve more potent, BBB penetrant BACE1 inhibitors.
