DiseasePDE4D_HUMAN Note=Genetic variations in PDE4D might be associated with susceptibility to stroke. PubMed:17006457 states that association with stroke has to be considered with caution. Defects in PDE4D are the cause of acrodysostosis type 2, with or without hormone resistance (ACRDYS2) [MIM:614613. ACRDYS2 is a pleiotropic disorder characterized by skeletal, endocrine, and neurological abnormalities. Skeletal features include brachycephaly, midface hypoplasia with a small upturned nose, brachydactyly, and lumbar spinal stenosis. Endocrine abnormalities include hypothyroidism and hypogonadism in males and irregular menses in females. Developmental disability is a common finding but is variable in severity and can be associated with significant behavioral problems.[1] FunctionPDE4D_HUMAN Hydrolyzes the second messenger cAMP, which is a key regulator of many important physiological processes.[2] [3] Publication Abstract from PubMedIdiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive lung disease, and its incidence rate is rapidly rising. However, effective therapies for the treatment of IPF are still lacking. Phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitors were reported to be potential anti-fibrotic agents, but their clinical use was hampered by side effects like emesis and nausea. Herein, structure-based hit-to-lead optimizations of natural mangostanin resulted in the novel and orally active PDE4 inhibitor 18a with potent inhibitory affinity (IC50 = 4.2 nM), favorable physico-chemical properties, and a different binding pattern from roflumilast. Emetic activity tests on dogs demonstrated that 18a cannot cause emesis even at an oral dose of 10 mg/kg, whereas rolipram had severe emetic effects at an oral dose of 1 mg/kg. Finally, the oral administration of 18a (10 mg/kg) exhibited comparable anti-pulmonary fibrosis effects with pirfenidone (150 mg/kg) in a bleomycin-induced IPF rat model, indicating its potential as a novel anti-IPF agent with improved safety.
