Abstract

To identify phosphodiesterase-9 (PDE9) as a novel target for the treatment of vascular dementia (VaD), a series of pyrazolopyrimidinone analogues were discovered based on a hit 1. Hit-to-lead optimization resulted in a potent inhibitor 2 with excellent selectivity and physicochemical properties to enable in vivo studies. Oral administration of 2 (5.0 mg/kg) caused notable therapeutic effects in the VaD mouse model, providing a promising lead or chemical probe for investigating the biological functions of PDE9 inhibition.
