Glutaminyl-peptide cyclotransferase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the QPCT gene. [5] [6] This gene encodes human pituitary glutaminyl cyclase , which is responsible for the presence of pyroglutamyl residues in many neuroendocrine peptides .

Dual inhibitors for the treatment of alzheimer's disease

Compounds (I) are provided, where R1 and R2 are H or (C1-C3)-alkyl; X is a linear methylene chain of formula —[CH2]n— with n=0, 1 or 2, or a biradical from a branched saturated (C2-C4)-alkylene chain; and A is either a C-radical from a non-aromatic polycyclic 6- to 15-membered carbocyclic ring system, or a C-radical from a polycyclic 6- to 15-membered heterocyclic ring system having one or two O, S or N; wherein the C-radicals are unsubstituted or substituted. Compounds (I) are simultaneously inhibitors of soluble epoxide hydrolase and inhibitors of glutaminyl cyclase. Besides, they reduce the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines in LPS stimulated BV2 cells, display low cytotoxicity, and have good BBB permeability. Thus, they are useful as multitarget compounds for the prevention or treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
