Pyrido[4,3-e][1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-a]pyrazines as Selective, Brain Penetrant Phosphodiesterase 2 (PDE2) Inhibitors
摘要:
A novel series of pyrido[4,3-e][1,2,4]triazolo-[4,3-a]pyrazines is reported as potent PDE2/PDE10 inhibitors with drug-like properties. Selectivity for PDE2 was obtained by introducing a linear, lipophilic moiety on the meta-position of the phenyl ring pending from the triazole. The SAR and protein flexibility were explored with free energy perturbation calculations. Rat pharmacokinetic data and in vivo receptor p or occupancy data are given for two representative compounds 6 and 12.
