Type 4 cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDE4) isoforms selectively inactivate the second messenger cAMP by hydrolyzing the phosphodiester bond, producing AMP. (±)-Rolipram is a cell-permeable selective PDE4 inhibitor. Since PDE4 is abundant in leukocytes, (±)-rolipram inhibits inflammation by suppressing leukocyte function, inhibiting C5a-stimulated LTC4 synthesis in eosinophils (IC50 = 200 nM),{16522} and lipopolysaccharide-induced TNF synthesis in monocytes (IC50 = 360 nM).{16523} (±)-Rolipram also enhances neuronal survival,{16524} has antipsychotic effects in mice,{16525} and suppresses bone loss in ovariectomized rats.{16526}
