We recently described a novel series of aminopyridopyrazinones as PDE5 inhibitors. Efforts toward optimization of this series culminated in the identification of 3-[4-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazin-1-yl]-7-(6-methoxypyridin-3-yl)- 1-(2-propoxyethyl)pyrido[3,4-b]pyrazin-2(1H)-one, which possessed an excellent potency and selectivity profile and demonstrated robust in vivo blood pressure lowering in a spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) model. Furthermore, this compound is brain penetrant and will be a useful agent for evaluating the therapeutic potential of central inhibition of PDE5. This compound has recently entered clinical trials.
