Abstract:
Previously, chemistry effort on the gem-cyclohexane series of gamma-secretase inhibitors has focused on the 4-position of the cyclohexane ring. Recently chemistry has been directed towards the 3-position and substitution here has also provided compounds with high gamma-secretase activity.
