Biological Activity

Description Verubecestat (MK-8931) is a potent and selective beta-secretase (also known as Beta-site APP-cleaving enzyme 1) inhibitor.
Targets
BACE2 [1]
(Cell-free assay)
BACE1 [1]
(Cell-free assay)
0.37 nM(Ki) 1.75 nM(Ki)
In vitro Verubecestat(MK-8931) effectively reduces Aβ40 in cells with a Ki of 7.8 nM and an IC50 of 13 nM[2].
In vivo Verubecestat(MK-8931) dramatically lowers CSF and cortex Aβ40 in both rats and cynomolgus monkeys following a single oral dose. Due to the 20 h half-life of MK-8931 it is ideal for once-a-day dosing[2].
