In vitro
Semagacestat (LY450139) is a novel, smallmolecular weight inhibitor of gamma-secretase inhibitor. This inhibitor is developed for treating Alzheimers disease (AD), which is a progressive neurodegenerative disease.
In vivo
Oral administration of Semagacestat (1 mg/kg) to 5.5-month old APP-transgenic Tg2576 mice significantly ameliorates memory deficits on spatial working memory using the Y-maze task, which disappears after 8 days subchronic dosing.
