Bioorg Med Chem Lett. 2012 May 1;22(9):3248-55. doi: 10.1016/j.bmcl.2012.03.029. Epub 2012 Mar 14.

Abstract

A number of novel 1,8-disubstituted 5,5-dimethyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-benzo[g]indazoles based on a conformationally restricted pyrazole framework have been designed as potential inhibitors of PDE4. All these compounds were readily prepared by using simple chemistry strategy. The in vitro PDE4B inhibitory properties and molecular modeling studies of some of the compounds synthesized along with the X-ray single crystal data of a representative compound is presented.
