Disease[PDE4D_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] Function[PDE4D_HUMAN] Hydrolyzes the second messenger cAMP, which is a key regulator of many important physiological processes.[2] [3] Publication Abstract from PubMedTo validate PDE4 inhibitors as novel therapeutic agents against vascular dementia (VaD), 25 derivatives were discovered from the natural inhibitor alpha-mangostin (IC50 = 1.31 muM). Hit-to-lead optimization identified a novel and selective PDE4 inhibitor 4e (IC50 = 17 nM), which adopted a different binding pattern from PDE4 inhibitors roflumilast and rolipram. Oral administration of 4e at a dose of 10 mg/kg exhibited remarkable therapeutic effects in a VaD model and did not cause emesis to beagle dogs, indicating its potential as a novel anti-VaD agent.
