Synthesis and cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase 4 isoenzyme inhibitory activity of heterocycle condensed purines.

To reverse the adverse reactions of alkylxanthines and to develop novel inhibitors of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4), a series of heterocycle [a]-, [b]-, [c,d]-, and [i]-condensed purines were designed and synthesized. Although all compounds did not display PDE1 and PDE3 inhibitory activities, several heterocycle [i]-condensed purines strongly inhibited PDE4. Especially, dl-3,4-dipropyl-8-methyl-4,5,7,8-tetrahydro-1H-imidazo[2,1-i]purin-5-one (dl-7c) exhibited comparable PDE4 inhibitory activity (IC(50)=1.9 microM) to rolipram and denbufylline (DBF).[1]
