A phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor, commonly referred to as a PDE4 inhibitor, is a drug used to block the degradative action of phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) on cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP). It is a member of the larger family of PDE inhibitors. The PDE4 family of enzymes are the most prevalent PDE in immune cells. They are predominantly ...
Xanthines such as caffeine and theobromine are cAMP-phosphodiesterase inhibitors. However, the inhibitory effect of xanthines on phosphodiesterases are only seen at dosages higher than what people normally consume. [citation needed] Sildenafil, Tadalafil and Vardenafil are PDE-5 inhibitors and are widely used in the treatment of erectile ...
Phosphodiesterase-5. A phosphodiesterase inhibitor is a drug that blocks one or more of the five subtypes of the enzyme phosphodiesterase (PDE), thereby preventing the inactivation of the intracellular second messengers, cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) by the respective PDE subtype(s).

It acts as a selective, long-acting inhibitor of the enzyme phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE-4). [10] It has anti-inflammatory effects. [10] [11] [12] It was approved for medical use in the European Union in 2010, [7] in the United States in 2011, [4] and in Canada in 2017. [1] It is available as a generic medication. [13]
It showed reasonable efficacy for treating COPD, but side effects were problematic and it is unclear whether cilomilast will be marketed, or merely used in the development of newer drugs. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] Cilomilast is a second-generation PDE4 inhibitor with anti-inflammatory effects that target bronchoconstriction , mucus hypersecretion, and airway ...
Rolipram continues to be used in research as a well-characterized PDE4 inhibitor. [ 3 ] : 669 It has been used in studies to understand whether PDE4 inhibition could be useful in autoimmune diseases , [ 5 ] Alzheimer's disease, [ 6 ] cognitive enhancement, [ 7 ] spinal cord injury, [ 8 ] and respiratory diseases like asthma and COPD .
