Using recombinant human, rhesus, and rat PDE9A2 in a cell free assay PF-04447943 is shown to have a Ki of 2.8±0.26, 4.5±0.13, and 18.1±1.9 nM (n=4, 11 and 9 respectively). PF-04447943 is found to be highly selective over other PDE enzymes (PDE1, Ki=8600±2121 nM, n = 5; PDE2A3, Ki>99,000 nM; PDE3A, Ki>50,000 nM; PDE4A, Ki>29,000 nM; PDE5A, Ki=14,980±5025 nM, n=5; PDE6C, Ki=5324±2612 nM, n=4; PDE7A2, Ki>75,000 nM; PDE8A, Ki>50,000 nM; PDE10, Ki>51,250±20,056 nM, n=4; PDE11, Ki>80,000 nM) and no other significant activity at ~60 other receptors/enzymes. In HEK whole cells expressing rhesus PDE9A2, PF-04447943 inhibits ANP (0.3 μM) stimulated cGMP with an IC50 of 375±36.9 nM (n=16).
