Title:
(HYDROXYETHYL)UREAS AS INHIBITORS OF ALZHEIMER'S BETA-AMYLOID PRODUCTION
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002014264
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Novel (hydroxyethyl)ureas are described. These compounds are effective inhibitors of certain aspartyl proteases, notably secretases involved in the enzymatic cleavage of amyloid precursor protein (APP) to yield amyloid- beta peptide. Methods are provided for administering the novel compunds to treat beta -amyloid-associated diseases, notably Alzheimer's disease.
