In this study we report a series of triazine derivatives that are potent
inhibitors of PDE4B. We also provide a series of structure activity
relationships that demonstrate the triazine core can be used to generate subtype
selective inhibitors of PDE4B versus PDE4D. A high resolution co-crystal
structure shows that the inhibitors interact with a C-terminal regulatory helix
(CR3) locking the enzyme in an inactive 'closed' conformation. The results show
that the compounds interact with both catalytic domain and CR3 residues. This
provides the first structure-based approach to engineer PDE4B-selective
inhibitors.
