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 PubMed
Phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) is an important drug target for treatment of inflammation-related diseases. Till now, natural PDE4 inhibitors are rare and their co-crystal structures with PDE4 are hardly available. In the present study, selaginpulvilins K and L (1 and 2), two novel fluorene derivatives, were isolated from a traditional Chinese medicine Selaginella pulvinata and exhibited remarkable inhibition against phosphodiesterase-4D (PDE4D) at IC50 11nM and 90nM, respectively. Compound 1 also showed a good selectivity across PDE families with the selective fold ranging from 30 to 909. To understand the recognition mechanism of selaginpulvilins towards PDE4, the crystal structure of PDE4D bound with 1 was successfully determined by the X-ray diffraction method and presented an unusual binding mode in which the stretched skeleton of the inhibitor bound shallowly to the active site but had interactions with multi sub-pockets, such as Q, HC, M, and S, especially strong interaction with the metal region. Assisted with molecular modeling, the structure-activity relationship and the selectivity of selaginpulvilins were also well explored, which would facilitate the future rational inhibitor design or structural optimizations.
