Synthesis of Insulin-Regulated Aminopeptidase (IRAP) inhibitors
The need for alternative cognitive enhancers has risen due to the fact that clinical trial results of the drugs currently approved for treating these disorders have not been satisfactory. IRAP has become a possible drug target for treating cognitive impairment brought about by Alzheimer’s disease, head trauma or cerebral ischemia, among others.

Angiotensin IV (Ang IV) exerts profound effects on memory and learning, a phenomenon ascribed to its binding to a specific AT4 receptor. However the AT4 receptor has recently been identified as the insulin-regulated aminopeptidase (IRAP).
