To accelerate the discovery of novel small molecule central nervous system (CNS) positron emission tomography (PET) ligands, we aimed to define a property space that would facilitate ligand design and prioritization, thereby providing higher probability success for PET development. Toward this end, built database consisting 62 ligands have successfully reached clinic 15 radioligands failed in late-stage development as negative controls. A systematic analysis these identified set preferred...

A papaverine based pharmacophore model for PDE10A inhibition was generated via SBDD and used to design a library of 4-amino-6,7-dimethoxyquinazolines. From this emerged an aryl ether pyrrolidyl 6,7-dimethoxyquinazoline series that became the focal point additional modeling, X-ray, synthetic efforts toward increasing inhibitory potency selectivity versus PDE3A/B. These culminated in discovery 29, potent selective brain penetrable inhibitor PDE10A.
Utilizing structure-based virtual library design and scoring, a novel chimeric series of phosphodiesterase 10A (PDE10A) inhibitors was discovered by synergizing binding site interactions ADME properties two chemotypes. Virtual libraries were docked scored for potential ability, followed visual inspection to prioritize analogs parallel directed synthesis. The process yielded highly potent selective compounds such as 16. New X-ray cocrystal structures enabled rational substituents that...
As part of our effort in identifying phosphodiesterase (PDE) 4B-preferring inhibitors for the treatment central nervous system (CNS) disorders, we sought to identify a positron emission tomography (PET) ligand enable target occupancy measurement vivo. Through systematic and cost-effective PET discovery process, involving expression level (Bmax) biodistribution determination, PET-specific structure-activity relationship (SAR) effort, specific binding assessment using LC-MS/MS "cold tracer"...
Phosphodiesterase 2A (PDE2A) inhibitors have been reported to demonstrate in vivo activity preclinical models of cognition. To more fully explore the biology PDE2A inhibition, we sought identify potent with improved brain penetration as compared current literature compounds. Applying estimated human dose calculations while simultaneously leveraging synthetically enabled chemistry and structure-based drug design has resulted a highly potent, selective, penetrant compound 71 (PF-05085727) that...
CD33/Siglec 3 is a myeloid lineage cell surface receptor that known to regulate microglia activity. Multiple genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified genetic variants in the CD33 gene convey protection from late-onset Alzheimer's disease. Furthermore, mechanistic into GWAS-linked suggest disease attributed alternative splicing of exon 2 pre-mRNA. Using phenomimetic screen, series compounds were found enhance exclusion 2, acting as chemomimetic variants. Additional confirmed...
Analogues substituted with various amines at the 6-position of pyrazine ring on (4-amino-7-isopropyl-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-5-yl)pyrazin-2-ylmethanone were discovered as potent and selective inhibitors PDK1 potential anticancer agents. An early lead 2-pyridine-3-ylethylamine substituent showed moderate potency selectivity. Structure-based drug design led to improved selectivity against PI3Kα through a combination cyclizing ethylene spacer into saturated, five-membered substituting...
