Fragment-based NMR screening, X-ray crystallography, structure-based design, and focused chemical library design were used to identify novel inhibitors for BACE-1. A rapid optimization of an initial NMR hit was achieved by a combination of NMR and a functional assay, resulting in the identification of an isothiourea hit with a K(d) of 15 microM for BACE-1 ...
