Abstract
- [Display omitted] Phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) is an important drug target for inflammatory diseases. Previously, we identified a series of novel PDE4 inhibitors derived from the natural Toddacoumalone, among which the hit compound 2 with a naphthyridine scaffold showed moderate potency with the IC 50 value of 400 nM. Based on the co-crystal structure of PDE4D- 2 , further structural optimizations and structure–activity relationship studies led to a highly potent PDE4 inhibitor 23a with the IC 50 value of 0.25 nM and excellent selectivity profiles over other PDEs (>4000-fold). The co-crystal structure of PDE4D- 23a elucidated that 23a has strong interactions with the M and Q pocket of PDE4D. Importantly, compound 23a significantly inhibits the release of inflammatory cytokines TNF- α and IL-6 in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW264.7 cells. Thus, compound 23a with a naphthyridine scaffold is a promising PDE4 inhibitor for the treatment of inflammatory diseases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
