Abstract: In clinical studies, several inhibitors of phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) have demonstrated utility in the treatment of erectile dysfunction. We describe herein a series of 8-aryl xanthine derivatives which function as potent PDE5 inhibitors with, in many cases, high levels of selectivity versus other PDE isoforms.
