Product Data
Biological target:
Piclamilast (RP 73401) is a phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitor, with IC50 values of 16 nM and 2 nM.
In vitro activity:
This study analysed the effects of piclamilast, a selective PDE4 inhibitor, on modulating the global gene expression profile in A549 cells exposed to H(2)O(2). The results indicate that H(2)O(2) modified the expression of several genes related to apoptosis, cell cycle control and cell signalling, including IL8, FAS, HIG2, CXCL2, CDKN25 and JUNB. Piclamilast pre-treatment significantly inhibited the changes in 23 genes via mechanisms involving AP-1 activation and c-Jun phosphorylation at Ser63. Reference: Free Radic Res. 2012 May;46(5):690-9. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22360706/
In vivo activity:
RP 73401 (0.4-400 micrograms kg-1, intratracheally (i.t.) on lactose) inhibited antigen-induced bronchospasm in previously sensitized conscious guinea-pigs (ID50: 7 +/- 1 micrograms kg-1) and in anaesthetized rats (ID50: 100 +/- 25 micrograms kg-1). Rolipram inhibited the antigen-induced bronchospasm in guinea-pigs with an ID50 of 5 +/- 1 micrograms kg-1. In guinea-pig bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid, total inflammatory cell and eosinophil numbers were reduced by RP 73401 (ID50s: 3.9 +/- 0.8 micrograms kg-1 and 3.2 +/- 0.7 micrograms kg-1, respectively). In the rat, inflammatory cell numbers are less affected. Only the highest dose of RP 73401 (400 micrograms kg-1) significantly inhibited eosinophil influx (41 +/- 16% inhibition).
