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.

Siguazodan (SKF 94836) is an effective, selective, orally active phosphodiesterase III ((PDE-III)) inhibitor with an IC50 of 117 nM. Siguazodan inhibited phenylephrine induced 5-HT release with an IC50 value of 4.2 μM. Siguazodan can increase cAMP accumulation in intact platelets, with EC50 of 18.88 μM.

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).

Mopidamol (RA 233) is a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, a dipyridamole derivative, with anticancer activity that prevents retinal vascular defects in experimental diabetes.

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.

Deltarasin is a small molecular inhibitor of KRAS-PDEδ interaction with Kd of 38 nM for binding to purified PDEδ.

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.

Anagrelide (Xagrid) is a Platelet-reducing Agent. The mechanism of action of anagrelide is as a Phosphodiesterase 3 Inhibitor. The physiologic effect of anagrelide is by means of Decreased Platelet Production.

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

Cilostazol (OPC 21) is a Phosphodiesterase 3 Inhibitor. The mechanism of action of cilostazol is as a Phosphodiesterase 3 Inhibitor.

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.

Flavoxate hydrochloride (DW61) , a muscarinic AChR antagonist, is used in the therapy of various urinary syndromes and as an antispasmodic.

Diphylline (Diprophylline) is a xanthine derivative. Diphylline exerts bronchodilator effects and to a lesser extent vasodilator and diuretic properties. Diphylline probably acts as a competitive inhibitor of phosphodiesterase which leads to an increase in intracellular cAMP. This results in relaxation of bronchial smooth muscle and other smooth muscles. Diphylline may also antagonize adenosinereceptors. Diphylline is used in the treatment of acute bronchial asthma, chronic bronchitis and emphysema.

Roflumilast (APTA 2217) is an orally available, long-acting inhibitor of phosphodiesterase (PDE) type 4 (PDE4), with anti-inflammatory and potential antineoplastic activities. Upon administration, roflumilast and its active metabolite roflumilast N-oxide selectively and competitively bind to and inhibit PDE4, which leads to an increase of both intracellular levels of cyclic-3', 5'-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and cAMP-mediated signaling.

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.
