ABSTRACT: β-Secretase is an attractive target of amyloid-reduction therapy for Alzheimer's disease. Currently, no efficacy data is available from clinical trials of β-secretase inhibitors. Treating young transgenic Tg2576 mice with a brain-penetrating β-secretase inhibitor reduced brain amyloid-β by about 50% and rescued the age-related cognitive decline. Implications from these model studies on the design of clinical trials are discussed herein.
