Description
Curator's Comment: Description was created based on several sources, including https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24900185 | https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22860183

Avagacestat (BMS-708163) is an oral gamma secretase inhibitor designed for selective inhibition of amyloid beta (Aβ) synthesis. Avagacestat was in development by Bristol-Myers Squibb for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Avagacestat is a potent, selective, orally bioavailable γ-secretase inhibitor of Aβ40 and Aβ42 with IC50 of 0.3 nM and 0.27 nM, demonstrating a 193-fold selectivity against Notch. In November 2012, Bristol-Myers Squibb terminated clinical trials of the drug and announced its decision to end further development of avagacestat

CNS Activity

Curator's Comment: Avagacestat (BMS-708163) can cross the blood-brain barrier and is efficacious in the treatment of AD.

Sample Use Guides

Of the four Avagacestat (BMS-708163) doses evaluated (25 mg, 50 mg, 100 mg and 125 mg/day), doses below 100 mg/day demonstrated acceptable tolerability profiles for further development and were associated with discontinuation rates comparable with placebo. BMS-708163 doses at or above 100 mg were associated with higher discontinuation rates, most commonly due to gastrointestinal and dermatological side effects.
Route of Administration: Oral
Avagacestat (BMS-708163) inhibited gamma-secretase in human IMR32 cell membrane with IC50 0.13 nM
