Herein, we describe the discovery of a potent, selective, brain-penetrating, in vivo active phosphodiesterase (PDE) 2A inhibitor lead series. To identify high-quality leads suitable for optimization and enable validation of the physiological function of PDE2A in vivo, structural modifications of the high-throughput screening hit 18 were performed. Our lead generation efforts revealed three key potency-enhancing functionalities with minimal increases in molecular weight (MW) and no change in topological polar surface area (TPSA). Combining these structural elements led to the identification of 6-methyl-N-((1R)-1-(4-(trifluoromethoxy)phenyl)propyl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine-3-carboxamide (38a), a molecule with the desired balance of preclinical properties. Further characterization by cocrystal structure analysis of 38a bound to PDE2A uncovered a unique binding mode and provided insights into its observed potency and PDE selectivity. Compound 38a significantly elevated 3′,5′-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) levels in mouse brain following oral administration, thus validating this compound as a useful pharmacological tool and an attractive lead for future optimization.

The inhibition of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1) is a potentially attractive mechanism for the treatment of obesity and other elements of the metabolic syndrome. A series of pyrazolo-pyrimidine inhibitors of this enzyme were identified from directed library synthesis. Knowledge of how these compounds bind to the enzyme and the key hydrogen-bonding interactions was used to design further compounds. The hydrogen-bond acceptor strength was calculated from the molecular electrostatic potential using quantum mechanical theory. Compounds were designed to modulate the acceptor strength, thus optimising the potency and other drug-like properties. Compounds with enhanced CNS penetration were designed through further modification of the electrostatic potential and the hydrogen-bond properties.
