phosphodiesterase (pde)

IBMX (Methylisobutylxanthine) is a broad-spectrum phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitor with inhibitory activity against PDE3, PDE4, and PDE5 (IC50=6.5 26.3 31.7 μM). IBMX enhances the intracellular cAMP level.

Bucladesine sodium (DC2797) is a cAMP analog with cell-permeable properties. Bucladesine sodium is also a cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) activator and a phosphodiester (PDE) inhibitor. Bucladesine sodium has anti-inflammatory activity.

Theophylline (1,3-Dimethylxanthine) is a methyl xanthine derivative from tea with diuretic, smooth muscle relaxant, bronchial dilation, cardiac, and central nervous system stimulant activities. It inhibits the 3', 5'-cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase that degrades cyclic AMP, thus potentiating the actions of agents that act through adenylyl cyclases and cyclic AMP.

Propentofylline (Hextol) is a methylxanthine derivative with neuroprotective, antiproliferative, and anti-inflammatory activity and enhanced synaptic adenosine signaling, which may be useful in the study of Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, cognitive impairment, dementia, and chronic pain.

BC 11-38 is a potent, selective PDE biodepressant which is mainly effective against PDE11 (IC50 : 0.28 μM).

Vesnarinone (Arkin) (INN) is a mixed phosphodiesterase 3 inhibitor and ion-channel modifier that has modest, dose-dependent, positive inotropic activity, but minimal negative chronotropic activity. It also suppresses cell proliferation and induces apoptosis by inducing the expression of p21, an inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinase activity in p53-mediated cell cycle arrest.

Saterinone is a potent and selective phosphodiesterase III inhibitor and a potent antagonist of the vascular α-1-adrenoceptor. Saterinone has vasodilatory properties and can be used in the acute treatment of chronic heart failure. Saterinone inhibited crude cAMP phosphodiesterase (PDE) activity in guinea pig right ventricular homogenates The ic50 value is 2.3 × 10(-5) mol l.

Pentoxifylline (PTX) modulates immunologic activity by stimulating cytokine production. Pentoxifylline is a methylxanthine derivative that inhibits phosphodiesterase and affects blood rheology. It also inhibits platelet aggregation and improves blood flow by increasing erythrocyte and leukocyte flexibility.

Vinpocetine (RGH-4405) is a selective inhibitor of cyclic GMP phosphodiesterase (PDE).

Sildenafil citrate (UK-92480 citrate) , a cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-specific phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) Inhibitor, is used extensively for erectile dysfunction and less commonly for pulmonary hypertension.

Doxofylline (Doxophylline) is a methylxanthine derivative with the presence of a dioxolane group in position 7. As a drug used in the treatment of asthma, doxofylline has shown similar efficacy to theophylline but with significantly fewer side effects in animal and human studies.

Theophylline monohydrate (Quibron) appears to inhibit phosphodiesterase and prostaglandin production, regulate calcium flux and intracellular calcium distribution, and antagonize adenosine. Theophylline monohydrate is a natural alkaloid derivative of xanthine isolated from the plants Camellia sinensis and Coffea arabica. Physiologically, this agent relaxes the bronchial smooth muscle, produces vasodilation (except in cerebral vessels), stimulates the CNS, stimulates the cardiac muscle, induces diuresis, and increases gastric acid secretion; it may also suppress inflammation and improve contractility of the diaphragm.

Milrinone (Win 47203) is a Phosphodiesterase 3 Inhibitor. The mechanism of action of milrinone is as a Phosphodiesterase 3 Inhibitor.

N-Methylbenzamide is a potent inhibitor of phosphodiesterase 10A (PDE10A) with demonstrated anti-cancer activity.

Dipyridamole (Persantin) is a Platelet Aggregation Inhibitor. The physiologic effect of dipyridamole is by means of Decreased Platelet Aggregation.

Ibudilast (MN-166)(KC-404;AV-411;MN-166) is a relatively nonselective phosphodiesterase inhibitor. It is approved for use as an anti-inflammatory in Japan.

Acefylline (Theophylline-7-acetic acid), a stimulant drug of the xanthine chemical class, acts as an adenosine receptor antagonist. It is combined with diphenhydramine in the pharmaceutical preparation Etanautine to help offset its stimulant effects

Avanafil (TA1790) is a selective inhibitor of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) and is used as therapy of erectile dysfunction.

Icariin (Ieariline) belongs to the flavonol glycoside group of natural products, can inhibit PDE5 and PDE4 activity (IC50=432 73.50 μM), is also a PPARα activator. Icariin can increase cardiovascular and cerebrovascular blood flow, promote hematopoiesis, immunity and bone metabolism.

Vardenafil hydrochloride trihydrate (BAY38-9456) is a new type PDE inhibitor with IC50 of 0.7 and 180 nM for PDE5 and PDE1, respectively.

Crisaborole (AN-2728) is a phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitor.

Vardenafil hydrochloride is a New Phosphodiesterase Type 5(PDE5) Inhibitor, in the Treatment of Erectile Dysfunction in Men With Diabetes

Drotaverine hydrochloride is a type 4 cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE4) inhibitor,and is an antispasmodic drug, used to enhance cervical dilation during childbirth. Drotaverine hydrochloride is structurally related to papaverine

Ziritaxestat (GLPG1690), an autotaxin inhibitor, currently being evaluated in an exploratory phase 2 study in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patients.
