Abstract
A structural survey of pyrazolopyridine-pyridazinone phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors was made with a view to optimization of their dual PDE3/4-inhibitory activity for respiratory disease applications. These studies identified (-)-6-(7-methoxy-2-trifluoromethylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine-4-yl)-5-methyl-4,5-dihydro-3-(2H)-pyridazinone (KCA-1490, compound 2ac) as a compound with potent combined bronchodilatory and anti-inflammatory activity and an improved therapeutic window over roflumilast.
