A new class of potent and selective PDE5 inhibitors is disclosed. Guided by X-ray crystallographic data, optimization of an HTS lead led to the discovery of a series of 2-aryl, (N8)-alkyl substituted-6-aminosubstituted pyrido[3,2b]pyrazinones which show potent inhibition of the PDE5 enzyme. Synthetic details and some structure-activity relationships are also presented. |
