Bioactivity

Semagacestat is a γ-secretase inhibitor, inhibits β-amyloid (Aβ42), Aβ38 and Aβ40 with IC50s of 10.9, 12 and 12.1 nM, respectively; also inhibits Notch signaling with IC50 of 14.1 nM. Semagacestat can be used for the research of alzheimer's disease[1].

Target

IC50: 10.9 nM (Aβ42), 12 nM (Aβ38), 12.1 nM (Aβ40), 14.1 nM (Notch)

Invitro

Semagacestat (LY450139) reduces the secretion of Aβ42, Aβ40, and Aβ38 in 96-well-cultured media and increases β-CTF in cell lysates as expected, although this increase is unexpectedly attenuated at high concentrations[1]. In cortical neurons (CTX), Semagacestat (LY450139) causes a concentration-dependent decrease in Aβ40 secreted into the medium with IC50 value 111 nM for Semagacestat. Semagacestat causes a concentration-dependent decrease in Aβ40 and Aβ42 secreted into the medium with an IC50 value of 126 and 130 nM, respectively[2]. Semagacestat (3 Μm; for 4 days) exhibits no significant cell toxicity in Huh7 cells[5].

In Vivo

Semagacestat (LY450139) is found to decrease both Aβ42 and Aβ40 at 10 mg/kg (22-23% reduction;p<0.01) and increase β-CTF at 0.3-10 mg/kg in a dose-dependent manner (15-162% elevation; p<0.01 at 1-10 mg/kg)[1]. The γ-secretase inhibitor, Semagacestat (LY450139), a highly potent low molecular weight compound, significantly reduces β-amyloid (Aβ) levels in cell cultures permanently over-expressing APP and in both wildtype and transgenic APP-expressing mice. Three hours following p.o. dosing of 30 mg/kg Semagacestat levels of Aβ40 are reduced by 43% (unpaired t-test, p=0.002) in the brains of wildtype C57BL/6 mice compare with vehicle treated controls. Subcutaneous administration of Semagacestat (30 mg/kg) transiently decreases the amounts of Aβ40 in the dialysate with a maximum reduction in Aβ40 levels of 80% at 3 h post-dosing (p<0.001)[2].
