Discovery of Novel 3-Amino-4-alkoxyphenylketones as PDE4 Inhibitors with Improved Oral Bioavailability and Safety against Spatial Memory Impairments

Le résumé fourni par la source

To realize PDE4 inhibitors with good developmental potentiality for the treatment of dementia, structure-based optimizations of lead compound FCPR03 resulted in novel aminophenylketones 9c and 9H with low nanomolar potency, which displayed comparable activity to rolipram, satisfactory bioavailability ( F % = 36.92 and 42.96% respectively), and good blood–brain barrier (BBB) permeability switching from the cyclopropyl methoxy group to the cyclopropyl methylamine and the amide group to the corresponding ketone. Emetogenicity evaluation on a combined ketamine/xylazine anesthesia mice alternative model demonstrated that 9H displays no emetogenicity even at an oral dose of 5 mg/kg. In contrast, rolipram and roflumilast displayed emetogenicity at an oral dose of 0.5 mg/kg. In acute toxicological evaluation, 9H showed no obvious toxicological effect on mice when administered at oral doses below 625 mg/kg. Further investigations revealed that 9H improves the memory and cognitive impairment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) model mice induced by Aβ 25–35 .
