Abstract

A new strategy for converting antipsychotic drug olanzapine into PDE4 inhibitors is described via the design and Pd/C mediated synthesis of novel N-indolylmethyl olanzapine derivatives. One compound showed good inhibition (IC50 1.1 μM) and >10 fold selectivity towards PDE4B over D that was supported by docking studies. This compound also showed significant inhibition of TNF-α and no major toxicities in cell lines and a zebrafish embryo model except the teratogenic effects to be re-assessed in rodents.
