DSR-141562 is a new compound that can be taken orally and has a specific ability to inhibit phosphodiesterase 1 (PDE1) in the brain. This compound exhibits a preference for inhibiting human PDE1B, with an IC50 value of 43.9 nM. It also shows moderate inhibition of human PDE1A (IC50 = 97.6 nM) and PDE1C (IC50 = 431.8 nM). DSR-141562 is particularly useful in the study of positive symptoms, negative symptoms, and cognitive impairments associated with schizophrenia.

PDE1B (human):43.9 nM (IC50), PDE1C (human):431.8 nM (IC50), PDE1A (human):97.6 nM (IC50)

DSR-141562 (oral administration; 30 mg/kg; single dose; plasma and brain exposures 0.5, 1, 2, and 3 hours after administration) exhibits good brain uptake, with the brain-to-blood concentration ratio of unbound drug being 0.99 in rats.DSR-141562 (oral administration; 10 mg/kg; single dose; 2 hours) slightly but significantly increases cGMP contents in the frontal cortex and striatum in rat[1].DSR-141562 (oral administration; 30 mg/kg or 100 mg/kg; single dose; 2 hours) causes a significant increase in cGMP concentration in monkey CSF. The plasma concentrations of unbound this compound are above 43.9 nM (IC50s)for PDE1B in vitro (43.9 nM). DSR-141562 causes a significant increase in cGMP concentration in monkey CSF[1].DSR-141562 (oral administration; 3 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg and 30 mg/kg; single dose) significantly reverses methamphetamine-induced locomotor hyperactivity, but has no effect on spontaneouslocomotor activity at 3 and 10 mg/kg[1].DSR-141562 (oral administration; 0.3 mg/kg, 1 mg/kg or 3 mg/kg) significantly reversed the phencyclidine-induced decrease of social interaction time in mice[1]. Animal Model: Male SpragueDawley rats[1]Dosage: 3 mg/kg, 10 mg/kg and 30 mg/kg Administration: Oral administration; single dose Result: Inhibited methamphetamine-induced locomotor hyperactivity in rats, while it had only minimal effects on the spontaneous locomotor activity. Animal Model: Male SpragueDawley rats[1]Dosage: 0.3 mg/kg, 1 mg/kg or 3 mg/kg Administration: Oral administration; single dose Result: Reversed social interaction.
