Function
PDE10_HUMAN Plays a role in signal transduction by regulating the intracellular concentration of cyclic nucleotides. Can hydrolyze both cAMP and cGMP, but has higher affinity for cAMP and is more efficient with cAMP as substrate.[1]
Publication Abstract from PubMed
Phosphodiesterase 10A (PDE10A) inhibitors were designed and synthesized based on the dihydro-imidazobenzimidazole scaffold. Compound 5a showed moderate inhibitory activity and good permeability, but unfavorable high P-glycoprotein (P-gp) liability for brain penetration. We performed an optimization study to improve both the P-gp efflux ratio and PDE10A inhibitory activity. As a result, 6d was identified with improved P-gp liability and high PDE10A inhibitory activity. Compound 6d also showed satisfactory brain penetration, suppressed phencyclidine-induced hyperlocomotion and improved MK-801-induced working memory deficit.
