The synthesis and biological properties of a novel series of selective calcium-independent phosphodiesterase inhibitors are described. These compounds also inhibit the specific binding of [3H]rolipram to rat brain membranes and exhibit efficacy in preclinical models of antidepressant activity in mice, such as reducing immobility in the forced-swim test and reversing reserpine-induced hypothermia. Imidazolidinones 4 and 16 were found to be the most potent compounds studied.
