Lanabecestat (AZD3293/LY3314814): A Clinical and Scientific Postmortem of a BACE1 Inhibitor for Alzheimer's Disease

Executive Summary

Lanabecestat, a small molecule developed under the codes AZD3293 and LY3314814, represents one of the most advanced and scientifically compelling drug candidates to emerge from the therapeutic strategy of beta-site amyloid precursor protein cleaving enzyme 1 (BACE1) inhibition.[1] Co-developed by AstraZeneca and Eli Lilly and Company, this orally available, brain-penetrant compound was designed as a potential disease-modifying therapy for Alzheimer's disease (AD).[4] Its mechanism was rooted in the amyloid cascade hypothesis, which posits that the accumulation of amyloid-beta (

) peptides is the primary initiator of the neurodegenerative pathology characteristic of AD.[6] By potently inhibiting BACE1, the rate-limiting enzyme in

 production, Lanabecestat was intended to halt this cascade at its source.[8]
