Identification of a potent new chemotype for the selective inhibition of PDE4

A series of substituted 3,6-diphenyl-7H-[1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazines were prepared and analyzed as inhibitors of phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4). Synthesis, structure–activity relationships, and the selectivity of a highly potent analogue against related phosphodiesterase isoforms are presented.
