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

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic relapsing skin disease characterized by recurrent, pruritic, localized eczema, while PDE4 inhibitors have been reported to be effective as antiatopic dermatitis agents. 3',4-O-dimethylcedrusin (DCN) is a natural dihydrobenzofuran neolignan isolated from Magnolia biondii with moderate potency against PDE4 (IC(50) = 3.26 +/- 0.28 muM) and a binding mode similar to that of apremilast, an approved PDE4 inhibitor for the treatment of psoriasis. The structure-based optimization of DCN led to the identification of 7b-1 that showed high inhibitory potency on PDE4 (IC(50) = 0.17 +/- 0.02 muM), good anti-TNF-alpha activity (EC(50) = 0.19 +/- 0.10 muM), remarkable selectivity profile, and good skin permeability. The topical treatment of 7b-1 resulted in the significant benefits of pharmacological intervention in a DNCB-induced atopic dermatitis-like mice model, demonstrating its potential for the development of novel antiatopic dermatitis agents.
