Chemoproteomic profiling reveals that cathepsin D off-target activity drives ocular toxicity of β-secretase inhibitors

Several β-secretase (BACE) inhibitors exhibit unexplained ocular toxicity in preclinical studies. Here the authors generate a clickable photoaffinity probe to interrogate off-targets in cells and animals, and identify inhibition of cathepsin D as a driver of ocular toxicity.
