Multi-target compounds where more than one functional activity is incorporated into the same molecule may have advantages in treating disease states. Selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors (SSRIs)a (i.e., (R)- and (S)-norfluoxetine) were chemically linked to a PDE4 inhibitor via a five carbon bridge. The new dual PDE4 inhibitor/SSRIs (i.e., (R)-8 and (S)-8) showed moderately potent but highly selective serotonin re-uptake inhibition (IC50 values of 173 and 42 nM, respectively) in vitro. The dual PDE4 inhibitor/SSRIs (R)-8 and (S)-8 also inhibited PDE4D2 (i.e., Ki values of 106 and 253 nM, respectively). Due to the synergistic functional activity, PDE4 inhibitor/SSRIs may be effective in treating diseases such as depression.
