Zaprinast was an unsuccessful clinical drug candidate that was a precursor to the chemically relatedPDE5 inhibitors, such assildenafil (Viagra), which successfully reached the market. It is aphosphodiesterase inhibitor,[1] selective for the subtypesPDE5,PDE6,PDE9 andPDE11.IC50 values are 0.76, 0.15, 29.0, and 12.0μM, respectively.[2][3]
Zaprinast inhibits the growth of asexual blood-stagemalaria parasites (P. falciparum)in vitro with anED50 value of 35μM, and inhibits PfPDE1, aP. falciparum cGMP-specific phosphodiesterase, with an IC50 value of 3.8μM.[4]
Zaprinast has also been shown to activate the orphanG-protein coupled receptor known asGPR35, both in rats and humans,[5] and to inhibit the mitochondrialpyruvate carrier.[6]
