We have identified a novel PDE2 inhibitor series using fragment-based screening. Pyrazolopyrimidine fragment 1, while possessing weak potency (Ki = 22.4 μM), exhibited good binding efficiencies (LBE = 0.49, LLE = 4.48) to serve as a start for structure-based drug design. With the assistance of molecular modeling and X-ray crystallography, this fragment was developed into a series of potent PDE2 inhibitors with good physicochemical properties. Compound 16, a PDE2 selective inhibitor, was identified that exhibited favorable rat pharmacokinetic properties.
