Our previous discovery of series of pyrazolopyrimidinone based PDE5 inhibitors led to find potent leads but with low aqueous solubility and poor bioavailability, and low selectivity. Now, a new series of same pyrazolopyrimidinone scaffold is designed, synthesized and evaluated for its PDE5 inhibitory potential. In this study, some of the molecules are found more potent and selective PDE5 inhibitors in vitro than sildenafil. The studies revealed that compound 5 is 20 fold selective to PDE5 against PDE6. As PDE6 enzyme is involved in the phototransduction pathway in the retina and creates distortion problem, the selectivity for PDE5 specifically against PDE6 enzyme is preferred for any development candidate and in present study, compound 5 has been found to be devoid of this liability of selectivity issue. Moreover, compound 5 has shown excellent in vivo efficacy in conscious rabbit model, it's almost comparable to sildenafil. The preclinical pharmacology including pharmacokinetic and physicochemical parameter studies were also performed for compound 5, it was found to have good PK properties and other physicochemical parameters. The development of these selective PDE5 inhibitors can further lead to draw strategies for the novel preclinical and/or clinical candidates based on pyrazolopyrimidinone scaffold.
Diversity in Heterocycle Synthesis Using α-Iminocarboxylic Acids: Decarboxylation Dichotomy

Despite the structural similarity with imines, α-iminocarboxylic acids have seldom been used in heterocycles synthesis. The reactions of ortho-substituted anilines and arylglyoxylic acids in DMSO at 40 °C gave various benzo-fused five- to six-membered N-heterocycles in good to excellent yields. The reaction proceeds via intramolecular Michael addition of α-iminocarboxylic acids, generated in situ, with an ortho-substituted nucleophile, yielding an isolable unprecedented tetrahedral carboxylic acids, which upon decarboxylation without any aid of additional reagents forms the N-heterocycles. DMSO is crucial in this reaction, perhaps because of improved solubility and the ease of decarboxylation of these tetrahedral carboxylic acids. However, a copper-catalyzed reaction of ortho-substituted anilines and 2-bromoarylglyoxylic acids gave a dibenzo-fused seven-membered N-heterocycle under a basic reaction condition. Unlike intramolecular cyclization with α-iminocarboxylic acids in the first case, α-iminocarboxylic acid undergoes a competitive decarboxylation under the copper-catalyzed conditions, which upon subsequent heteroarylation form the heterocycles. Taken together, the study described herein represents two different modes of decarboxylation observed with α-iminocarboxylic acids, leading to the synthesis of divergent heterocycles and pharmaceuticals, which remained unexplored previously.

An improved, gram-scale synthesis of the blockbuster drug sildenafil, used for the treatment of male erectile dysfunction, has been developed. Unlike the previous literature, the current method demonstrates the use of arylacetic acid as an acyl source, a cheap oxidant K2S2O8, and water as the reaction medium in the key step of pyrrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidin-7-one ring formation. As well as being a green and benign approach, the current method reduces the cost by half compared to our previous strategy. In addition, the general relevance of the method has been demonstrated in the synthesis of a variety of quinazolinone and benzothiazole derivatives with excellent functional group tolerance.

Sulphonated graphene oxide was used for cascade condensation and cyclization reactions towards accessing substituted pyrazolo pyrimidinones. Further, sulphonation and amination reactions were integrated through continuous flow chemistry to access PDE-5 inhibitors. Herein, we report a simple continuous synthetic platform that reduce tedious manual operations and accelerate the synthesis of several potent inhibitors of phosphodiesterase type-5. The developed platform enabled us to perform one-flow multi-step, multi-operational process to synthesize the PDE-5 inhibitors such as sildenafil and its analogues in 32.3 min of the reaction time, with minimal human intervention and single solvent.
