Crystal structure of phosphodiesterase 4B in complex with compound 10f
Structural highlights
FunctionPDE4B_HUMAN Hydrolyzes the second messenger cAMP, which is a key regulator of many important physiological processes. May be involved in mediating central nervous system effects of therapeutic agents ranging from antidepressants to antiasthmatic and anti-inflammatory agents.[1] [2] Publication Abstract from PubMed5-Carbamoyl-2-phenylpyrimidine derivative 2 has been identified as a phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitor with moderate PDE4B inhibitory activity (IC50=200nM). Modification of the carboxylic acid moiety of 2 gave N-neopentylacetamide derivative 10f, which had high in vitro PDE4B inhibitory activity (IC50=8.3nM) and in vivo efficacy against lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced pulmonary neutrophilia in mice (ID50=16mg/kg, ip). Furthermore, based on the X-ray crystallography of 10f bound to the human PDE4B catalytic domain, we designed 7,8-dihydro-6H-pyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidin-5-one derivative 39 which has a fused bicyclic lactam scaffold. Compound 39 exhibited excellent inhibitory activity against LPS-induced tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) production in mouse splenocytes (IC50=0.21nM) and in vivo anti-inflammatory activity against LPS-induced pulmonary neutrophilia in mice (41% inhibition at a dose of 1.0mg/kg, i.t.).
