Starting from literature examples of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)-type carboxylic acid γ-secretase modulators (GSMs) and using a scaffold design approach, we identified 4-aminomethylphenylacetic acid 4 with a desirable γ-secretase modulation profile. Scaffold optimization led to the discovery of a novel chemical series, represented by 6b, having improved brain penetration. Further SAR studies provided analog 6q that exhibited a good pharmacological profile. Oral administration of 6q significantly reduced brain Aβ42 levels in mice and rats.
