N2-((2S)-2-(3,5-difluorophenyl)-2-hydroxyethanoyl)-N1-((7S)-5-methyl-6-oxo-6,7-dihydro-5H-dibenzo(b,d)azepin-7-yl)-L-alaninamide [Supplementary Concept]
a gamma-secretase inhibitor
Date introduced: April 28, 2004
Gamma Secretase Inhibitors and Modulators
Agents that suppress GAMMA-SECRETASE by inhibiting or modulating its activities. Targeted enzymatic activities include its involvement in accumulation of toxic AMYLOID BETA-PEPTIDES (e.g., Aβ42) in ALZHEIMER DISEASE and activation of NOTCH RECEPTOR mediated SIGNAL PATHWAYS in certain cancer types.

Heterocyclic Compounds, 1-Ring
Organic compounds that contain a ring structure made up of carbon and one or more additional elements such as nitrogen and oxygen.
Year introduced: 1998
Heterocyclic Compounds
Cyclic compounds that include atoms other than carbon in their ring structure.
Azepines
Seven membered heterocyclic rings containing a NITROGEN atom.
Amino Acids, Peptides, and Proteins
Amino acids and chains of amino acids connected by peptide linkages.
Amino Acids
Organic compounds that generally contain an amino (-NH2) and a carboxyl (-COOH) group. Twenty alpha-amino acids are the subunits which are polymerized to form proteins.

Molecular Mechanisms of Pharmacological Action
Pharmacological activities at the molecular level of DRUGS and other exogenous compounds that are used to treat DISEASES and affect normal BIOCHEMISTRY.
Year introduced: 2008(2004)
Pharmacologic Actions
A broad category of chemical actions and uses that result in the prevention, treatment, cure or diagnosis of disease. Included here are drugs and chemicals that act by altering normal body functions, such as the REPRODUCTIVE CONTROL AGENTS and ANESTHETICS. Effects of chemicals on the environment are also included.
Year introduced: 2004(1999)
Chemical Actions and Uses
A group of pharmacologic activities, effects on living systems and the environment, and modes of employment of drugs and chemicals. They are broken into actions, which describe their effects, and uses, which describe how they are employed.
Year introduced: 1999
Enzyme Inhibitors
Compounds or agents that combine with an enzyme in such a manner as to prevent the normal substrate-enzyme combination and the catalytic reaction.
Year introduced: 1975(1964)
