Zaprinast was an unsuccessful clinical drug candidate that was a precursor to the chemically related PDE5 inhibitors, such as sildenafil (Viagra), which successfully reached the market. It is a phosphodiesterase inhibitor,[1] selective for the subtypes PDE5, PDE6, PDE9 and PDE11. IC50 values are 0.76, 0.15, 29.0, and 12.0 μM, respectively.[2][3]

Zaprinast inhibits the growth of asexual blood-stage

P. falciparum cGMP-specific phosphodiesterase, with an IC50 value of 3.8 μM.[4]

Zaprinast has also been shown to activate the orphan

pyruvate carrier. [6]
