Description
Z-IL-CHO, a cell-permeable, reversible inhibitor, reduces amyloid β (Aβ)-production by blocking γ-secretase activity in vitro (Aβ₄₀ IC₅₀ = 7.9 µM; Aβ₄₂ IC₅₀ = 7.6 µM). Besides blocking the formation of Aβ the dipeptide aldehyde Z-IL-CHO also blocks the production of the γ-CTF (γ-secretase-generated carboxyl-terminal fragment), but does not affect the formation of amyloid-β-precursor protein (APP).
