Herein we describe the design and synthesis of a series of pyridopyrazine-1,6-dione γ-secretase modulators (GSMs) for Alzheimer's disease (AD) that achieve good alignment of potency, metabolic stability, and low MDR efflux ratios, while also maintaining favorable physicochemical properties. Specifically, incorporation of fluorine enabled design of metabolically less liable lipophilic alkyl substituents to increase potency without compromising the sp3-character. The lead compound 21 (PF-06442609) displayed a favorable rodent pharmacokinetic profile, and robust reductions of brain Aβ42 and Aβ40 were observed in a guinea pig time-course experiment.
