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 ...
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 ...
Roflumilast, sold under the brand name Daxas among others, is a medication used for the treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, [4] plaque psoriasis, [5] seborrheic dermatitis, [6] and atopic dermatitis. [5] It acts as a selective, long-acting inhibitor of the enzyme phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE-4). [10] It has anti-inflammatory effects ...
Piclamilast (RP 73401), is a selective PDE4 inhibitor. [1] It is comparable to other PDE4 inhibitors for its anti-inflammatory effects. It has been investigated for its applications to the treatment of conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, bronchopulmonary dysplasia and asthma.

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).
