Inhibition of delta-secretase improves cognitive functions in mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease

Delta-secretases are associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) as they cleave both amyloid precursor protein and tau. Here the authors develop a series of orally bioactive small molecule delta-secretase inhibitors and report its therapeutic effects in mouse models of AD.
