Phosphodiesterase 10A (PDE10A) inhibitors were designed and synthesized based on the dihydro-imidazobenzimidazole scaffold. Compound 5a showed moderate inhibitory activity and good permeability, but unfavorable high P-glycoprotein (P-gp) liability for brain penetration. We performed an optimization study to improve both the P-gp efflux ratio and PDE10A inhibitory activity. As a result, 6d was identified with improved P-gp liability and high PDE10A inhibitory activity. Compound 6d also showed satisfactory brain penetration, suppressed phencyclidine-induced hyperlocomotion and improved MK-801-induced working memory deficit.
