  • Publication number: 20030125257
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an assay for identifying inhibitors of beta-secretases comprising the steps of immobilizing a beta-secretase protein on a solid support, contacting it with a test compound in the presence of a tagged beta-secretase inhibitor, and comparing the extent of binding of the tagged beta-secretase inhibitor in the presence and in the absence of the test compound in order to evaluate if the test compound is an inhibitor of beta-secretases. The present invention also relates to a method of screening for inhibitors of beta-secretases, to novel beta-secretase inhibitors and their use as tagged beta-secretase inhibitors for identification of inhibitors of beta-secetase, to a kit for identifying beta-secretase inhibiotrs as well as to novel beta-secretase inhibitors for use in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and other cerebrovascular amyloidosis.
