The present invention provides imidazotriazinone compounds which are inhibitors of phosphodiesterase 9. The present invention further provides processes, pharmaceutical compositions, pharmaceutical preparations and pharmaceutical use of the compounds in the treatment of PDE9 associated diseases or disorders in mammals, including CNS or neurodegeneration disorder.
The present invention provides imidazotriazinone compounds which are inhibitors of phosphodiesterase 9 and pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. The present invention further provides processes, pharmaceutical compositions, pharmaceutical preparations and pharmaceutical use of the compounds in the treatment of PDE9 associated diseases or disorders in mammals, including humans.
The invention relates to compounds of formula I wherein A1, A2, A3, B, R1, R2, R3 and R4 are as defined in the description and in the claims, as well as physiologically acceptable salts thereof. These compounds inhibit PDE10A and can be used as medicaments.
The natural product Ginkgolide B was used as a raw material and modified by etherification on C10–OH to obtain 10 derivatives (1 to 10), which were structurally characterized with nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. An test of rabbit platelet aggregation induced by platelet activating factor showed that All ginkgolide compounds and ginkgolide B derivatives inhibited platelet aggregation in rabbits
Compounds of formula (I) are disclosed
Compounds of formula (I) are useful in treating conditions and disorders prevented by or ameliorated by PDE10A ligands. Radiolabeled compounds of formula (I) are also useful as diagnostic tools as PDE10A positron emission tomography ligands. Also disclosed are pharmaceutical compositions comprising compound of formula (I), methods for using such compounds and compositions, and a process for preparing compounds within the scope of formula (I).
