Product Description
Mechanism of Action
Elenbecestat is a potent BACE1 (β‑site amyloid precursor protein–cleaving enzyme 1) inhibitor designed to reduce production of amyloid‑β peptides. By blocking the rate‑limiting step in the amyloidogenic pathway, it lowers Aβ40/42 formation and modulates neurodegenerative processes relevant to Alzheimer’s disease.
Benefits and Advantages
Used in amyloid‑pathway modelling, β‑secretase inhibition assays, neurodegeneration research, and disease‑modifying therapeutic development.
Side Effects and Risks
Risks include liver‑enzyme elevations, headache, neuropsychiatric effects and potential off‑target protease interactions. Handle with CNS‑active enzyme‑inhibitor precautions.
