Abstract: We report the continuation of a focused medicinal chemistry program aimed to further optimize a series of imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazines as a novel class of potent and selective phosphodiesterase 10A (PDE10A) inhibitors. In vitro and in vivo pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic evaluation allowed the selection of compound 25a for its assessment in preclinical models of psychosis. The evolution of our medicinal chemistry program, structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis, as well as a detailed pharmacological profile for optimized lead 25a are described.
