Abstract

The design and synthesis of a novel series of potent gamma secretase modulators is described. Exploration of various spacer groups between the triazole ring and the aromatic appendix in 2 has led to anilinotriazole 28, which combined high in vitro and in vivo potency with an acceptable drug-like profile.

Keywords: Alzheimer’s disease; Anilinotriazoles; Gamma secretase modulators.
