Synthesis of N-(3-arylprop-2-ynyl)substituted olanzapine derivatives as potential inhibitors of PDE4B
摘要:
The linkage between dopamine D2 receptors and PDE activity via cAMP prompted us to design a series of novel N-(3-arylprop-2-ynyl)substituted olanzapine derivatives as potential inhibitors of PDE4B. The target compounds were conveniently prepared by using a simple and inexpensive method involving Pd/C-mediated C-C bond forming reaction under Sonogashira conditions. A number of compounds were synthesized by using this strategy in good yields. Some of the compounds showed promising inhibition of PDE4B when tested in vitro that was supported by the docking studies. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
