Abstract
A "second generation" γ-secretase, Begacestat (GSI-953), which is more selective against Notch-signaling, has shown promise in recent Phase I clinical trials. Begacestat, a novel, 2,5-disubsitituted thiophene sulfonamide from Wyeth (now Pfizer) is under evaluation for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.Entities:
