Abstract: The first highly potent and selective PDE8 inhibitors are disclosed. The initial tetrahydroisoquinoline hit was transformed into a nipecotic amide series in order to address a reactive metabolite issue. Reduction of lipophilicity to address metabolic liabilities uncovered an interesting diastereomer-dependent trend in turnover by human microsomes.
