- Radiosynthesis and in vivo evaluation of [11C]MP-10 as a PET probe for imaging PDE10A in rodent and non-human primate brain
-
2-((4-(1-[11C]Methyl-4-(pyridin-4-yl)-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)phenoxy) methyl)-quinoline (MP-10), a specific PDE10A inhibitor (IC50 = 0.18 nM with 100-fold selectivity over other PDEs), was radiosynthesized by alkylation of the desmethyl precursor with [11C]CH3I, ~45% yield, >92% radiochemical purity, >370 GBq/μmol specific activity at end of bombardment (EOB). Evaluation in Sprague-Dawley rats revealed that [11C]MP-10 had highest brain accumulation in the PDE10A enriched-striatum, the 30 min striatum: cerebellum ratio reached 6.55. MicroPET studies of [11C]MP-10 in monkeys displayed selective uptake in striatum. However, a radiolabeled metabolite capable of penetrating the blood-brain-barrier may limit the clinical utility of [11C]MP-10 as a PDE10A PET tracer.

- Discovery of a novel class of phosphodiesterase 10A inhibitors and identification of clinical candidate 2-[4-(1-methyl-4-pyridin-4-yl-1H-pyrazol-3- yl)-phenoxymethyl]-quinoline (PF-2545920) for the treatment of schizophrenia
-
By utilizing structure-based drug design (SBDD) knowledge, a novel class of phosphodiesterase (PDE) 10A inhibitors was identified. The structure-based drug design efforts identified a unique "selectivity pocket" for PDE10A inhibitors, and interactions within this pocket allowed the design of highly selective and potent PDE10A inhibitors. Further optimization of brain penetration and drug-like properties led to the discovery of 2-[4-(1-methyl-4-pyridin-4-yl-1H-pyrazol-3-yl)-phenoxymethyl]-quinoline (PF-2545920). This PDE10A inhibitor is the first reported clinical entry for this mechanism in the treatment of schizophrenia.

- PHOSPHODIESTERASE 10 INHIBITION AS TREATMENT FOR OBESITY-RELATED AND METABOLIC SYNDROME-RELATED CONDITIONS
-
The present invention provides methods to decrease body weight and/or body fat in animals, e.g., in the treatment of overweight or obese patients (e.g., humans or companion animals), or as a means to produce leaner meat in food stock animals (e.g., cattle, chickens, pigs), methods to treat non-insulin dependent diabetes (NIDDM), metabolic syndrome, or glucose intolerance, in patients in need thereof by administering a PDE10 inhibitor (alone or in combination with another therapeutic agent), kits for the above-identified therapeutic uses, and methods of identifying PDE10 inhibitors for the above-described therapeutic uses.
