γ-Secretase is a protease complex that cleaves single-pass transmembrane proteins, such as Notch receptors and β-amyloid precursor protein (APP), within the transmembrane domain.{27051,25415} MK-0752 is a potent, reversible inhibitor of γ-secretase, reducing the cleavage of APP to Aβ40 in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells with an IC50 value of 5 nM.{27408,27409} It is orally bioavailable and crosses the blood-brain barrier, as orally administered MK-0752 dose-dependently reduces the generation of new amyloid β protein in the brain of rhesus monkeys.{27409} Through its effects on the Notch pathway, MK-0752 reduces the number of breast cancer stem cells in tumorgrafts, enhancing the efficacy of the chemotherapy drug docetaxel (Item No. 11637) in mice with breast cancer tumors.{27410}
