A series of new 2-(alkylthio)-5,7-disubstituted-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines have been prepared as inhibitors of cAMP phosphodiesterase from various tissues. These derivatives were prepared via ring closure of various requisite 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole intermediates. 2-(Benzylthio)-5-methyl-7-(dimethylamino)-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine (15a) is 6.3 times as potent as theophylline in inhibiting cAMP PDE isolated from rabbit heart. Treatment of dogs intravenously with 5 (mg/kg)/h of 15a gave a cardiac output increase of 69%, which was largely sustained for a 2-h period after administration of drug had ceased. There was no significant increase in heart rate upon administration of 15a. Related studies with 5,7-di-n-propyl-2-(benzylthio)-1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine (22a) in five dogs showed a 31.5% increase in cardiac output with an increase in stroke volume of 34.4% with no increase in heart rate. The specificity of action of these PDE inhibitors could be due to selective binding at a certain cAMP PDE site in the cardiovascular system. Several of these compounds are candidates for further studies with a view to clinical evaluation.
