Product Data
Biological target:
Ro20-1724 is a cell-permeable, selective inhibitor of cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase (PDE IV; IC50 = 2 µM).
In vitro activity:
[(3)H]17-β-estradiol binding displacements were performed on Ro-20-1724 treated whole cells. On Ro-20-1724 treated WISH cells, the K(i) of 17-β-estradiol was 29.2 ± 5.4 nM. Reference: Life Sci. 2011 Mar 14;88(11-12):551-8. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21277863/
In vivo activity:
Treatment with Ro 20-1724 improves learning and memory deficits caused by ketamine anesthesia in immature rats. The escape latency and frequency of passing the platform in Morris Water Maze task were significantly longer after ketamine anesthesia. However, treatment with Ro 20-1724 significantly (P<0.05) improved both learning and memory performance. Reference: J Neurosurg Sci. 2014 Dec;58(4):231-7. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24637417/
