Design, Synthesis and Biological Activity of β‐Carboline‐Based Type‐5 Phosphodiesterase Inhibitors.

Abstract: Pyrazine derivatives Pyrazine derivatives R 0550Design, Synthesis and Biological Activity of β-Carboline-Based Type-5 Phosphodiesterase Inhibitors. -The N-methyl group in tadalafil is targeted for structural modification to investigate the selectivity profile, especially phosphodiesterase 5 selectivity over phosphodiesterase 11. The initial strategy is based on introducing a basic nitrogen into the molecule to improve aqueous solubility and to assess its impact on PDE5 potency and selectivity. Key intermediate… Show more

“…16,23,25 The physiological function of PDE11A is poorly understood. It was reported that tadalafil had 5.5-and 40-fold selectivity against PDE11A1 26 and PDE11A4, 27 respectively. Studies in dogs showed that when administrated daily for 6 and 12 months, there were changes in seminiferous epithelium that resulted in a decrease in spermatogenesis in some dogs.…”

“…71 The physiological significance of PDE11 inhibition is not clearly understood but could have a role in sperm function. Protein localization of PDE11 in man and mouse, coupled with the known role for cGMP and cAMP in sperm physiology and testosterone production, suggests a local role for PDE11 in testis development and/or spermatogenesis.…”

“…Since the X-ray structure of PDE11 was not available, ligand-based homology modeling technique was applied to explore the 3D structure of PDE11 [27]. Consistent with the sequence similarity of PDE11 and PDE5, several tadalail analogs (PDE5 ligands) showed binding ainity to PDE11 too [28][29][30]. Thus, the 3D structure of PDE11 was built on the basis of PDE5-tadalail complex using homology modeling technique [31].…”
