(4-PHENYL) PIPERIDIN-3-YL-PHENYLCARBOXYLATE DERIVATIVES AND RELATED COMPOUNDS AS BETA-SECRETASE INHIBITORS FOR THE TREATMENT OF ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE

摘要

The invention relates to substituted piperidine piperazine, morpholine and thiomorpholine compounds useful in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and more specifically to compounds that are capable of inhibiting beta-secretase, an enzyme that cleaves amyloid precursor protein to produce amyloid beta peptide (A-beta), a major component of the amyloid plaques found in the brains of Alzheimer's sufferers.
