We disclose the discovery and X-ray cocrystal data of potent, selective quinazoline inhibitors of PDE1. Inhibitor ( S)-3 readily attains free plasma concentrations above PDE1 IC 50 values and has restricted brain access. The racemic compound 3 inhibits >75% of PDE hydrolytic activity in soluble samples of human myocardium, consistent with heightened PDE1 activity in this tissue. These compounds represent promising new tools to probe the value of PDE1 inhibition in the treatment of cardiovascular disease.
