OA-8159, a new Phosphodiesterase (PDE) 5 inhibitor, has exhibited potent erectogenic potential in a penile erection test in rats and anesthetized dogs. In this study, we investigated the mechanism of its erectogenic activity by measuring the activity of OA-8159 against a various PDE isozymes and assessing cGMP and cAMP formation in a rabbit corpus cavernosum in vitro. DA-8159 inhibited the PDE 5 activity in rabbit and human platelets, which the $IC_{50}$ was 5.84$\pm$1.70 nM and 8.25$\pm$2.90 nM, respectively. The $IC_{50}$ of DA-8159 on PDE 1, PDE2, PDE 3 and PDE 6 were 870$\pm$57.4 nM, $101\pm$5 $\mu$M, 52.0$\pm$3.53 $\mu$M and 53.3$\pm$2.47 nM, respectively. This suggests that DA-8159 is a potent, highly selective, competitive inhibitor of PDE 5-catalyzed cGMP hydrolysis. The rates of cGMP hydrolysis catalyzed by human platelets-derived PDE 5 as a function of the cGMP concentration (5~100 nM) and two-fixed DA-8159 concentration (11.3 and 18.8 nM) were investigated in order to characterize the mode of PDE 5 inhibition by DA-8159. DA-8159 increased the apparent 4K_{m}$ value for cGMP hydrolysis but had no effect on the apparent $V_{max}$, indicating a competitive mode of inhibition. DA-8159 increased the cGMP concentrations in the rabbit corpus cavernosum dose dependently. In the presence of sodium nitroprusside (SNP), DA-8159 significantly sti\mulated the accu\mulation of cGMP when compared to the control level. This indicated that the enhancement of a penile erection by DA-8159 involved the relaxation of the cavernosal smooth \muscle by NO-sti\mulated cGMP accu\mulation. In conclusion, DA-8159 is a selective inhibitor of PDE 5-catalyzed cGMP hydrolysis and the enhancement of a penile erection by DA-8159 is mediated by the relaxation of the cavernosal smooth \muscle by the NO-sti\mulated cGMP accu\mulation.

Objective: The study assessed the developmental potential of germinal vesicle (GV) oocytes subjected to in vitro maturation (IVM) after prematuration culture with cilostamide (a phosphodiesterase-3 inhibitor) and the impact of cilostamide exposure on the morphology of meiosis II (MII) oocytes and subsequent embryo quality. Methods: In total, 994 oocytes were collected from 63 patients. Among 307 GV oocytes, 140 oocytes were selected for the experimental group and 130 oocytes for the control group. The denuded GV-stage oocytes were cultured for 6 hours with cilostamide in the experimental group and without cilostamide in the control group. After 6 hours, the oocytes in the experimental group were washed and transferred to fresh IVM medium. The maturational status of the oocytes in both groups was examined at 26, 36, and 48 hours. Fertilization was assessed at 18 hours post-intracytoplasmic sperm injection. Embryo quality was assessed on days 3 and 5. Results: In total, 92.1% of the oocytes remained in the GV stage, while 6.4% converted to the MI stage (p<0.01) after cilostamide exposure. In both groups, more MII oocytes were observed at 36 hours (25.8% vs. 21.5%) than at 26 hours (10.8% vs. 14.6%) and 48 hours (13% vs. 7.9%) (p>0.05). With the advent of cilostamide, blastocyst quality was better in the experimental group than in the control group (p<0.05). Conclusion: Cilostamide effectively blocked nuclear maturation and promoted cytoplasmic growth. Prematuration culture with cilostamide enabled synchronization between cytoplasmic and nuclear maturity, resulting in better blastocyst outcomes.

Several recent studies demonstrate that receptor-mediated cAMP (adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate) production evokes marked change in magnesium ($Mg^{2+}$) homeostasis. The effects of dimaprit or/and phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors on the $Mg^{2+}$ release from perfused guinea pig heart and collagenase-dispersed myocytes was studied to clarify an association of $H_2-histaminergic$ receptor-mediated $Mg^{2+}$ regulation with intracellular cAMP-degradation system. $Mg^{2+}$ efflux was stimulated in perfused hearts and myocytes by IBMX (3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine), a calmodulin-sensitive PDE inhibitor, but not by RO 20-1724(4-(3-butoxy-4-methoxybenzyl)-2-imidazolidinone) or papaverine, cAMP-specific PDE inhibitors. $Mg^{2+}$ efflux was also be induced by dimaprit, a H-2-agonist. $Mg^{2+}$ effluxes induced by dimaprit were augmented by the presence of the PDE inhibitors. The augmentation of dimaprit-induced $Mg^{2+}$ effluxes by the PDE inhibitors were inhibited by ranitidine, a $H_2-antagonist$, and imipramine, a $Na^{+}-Mg^{2+}$ exchange inhibitor, in perfused hearts and myocytes and were also inhibited by amiloride in perfused hearts. These results suggest that the $H_2$-stimulated $Mg^{2+}$ effluxes from guinea pig heart can be regulated by the cytosolic nonspecific-dependent PDE systems and that it is induced by the $Na^{+}-Mg^{2+}$ exchanger stimulation.

Amyloid ${\beta}$ ($A{\beta}$)의 신경독성은 알츠하이머병의 주된 원인이 되고 이러한 신경독성은 일련의 신경세포 사멸반응에 의해 일어난다고 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 알츠하이머병의 실험모델로 mouse primary neuronal cell에 $A{\beta}_{25-35}$를 처리하여 세포독성을 유도하는 세포실험모델과 C57BL/6J mouse 뇌실에 $A{\beta}_{25-35}$를 주입하여 인지장애를 일으키는 동물실험모델을 이용하여 phosphodiesterase III 억제제인 cilostazol의 신경보호 효과에 대해 조사하였다. $A{\beta}_{25-35}$를 신경세포에 처리하면 세포생존율이 감소되었고, 세포사멸이 일어난 세포의 수도 증가되었다. 이러한 $A{\beta}_{25-35}$에 의한 세포독성이 cilostazol처리에 의해 회복되었으며, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor(PPAR)-${\gamma}$ 항진제인 rosiglitazone 또한 동일한 회복효과를 나타내었다. Cilostazol과 rosiglitazone에 의한 이러한 회복효과가 PPAR-${\gamma}$ 길항제인 GW9662에 의해 다시 억제되는 결과를 통해 cilostazol의 효과는 PPAR-${\gamma}$가 매개하는 신호전달이 관여함을 알 수 있었다. 직접 PPAR-${\gamma}$ 활성화 정도를 측정한 결과, $A{\beta}_{25-35}$ 처리에 의해 감소된 PPAR-${\gamma}$ 활성화 정도가 cilostazol과 rosiglitazone에 의해 증가함을 관찰할 수 있었고, 이는 GW9662에 의해 다시 억제됨을 확인하였다. 게다가, cilostazol은 세포사멸이 일어난 세포의 수와 세포사멸 조절단백질인 Bax/Bcl-2의 비율도 감소시켰다. Cilostazol (20 mg/kg, 구강투여)을 C57BL/6J mice 뇌실에 $A{\beta}_{25-35}$를 주입하기 2주 동안 전처리하고, $A{\beta}_{25-35}$ 주입 후 4주 동안 처리하면, 기억력과 학습능력을 증진시킨다는 결과를 water maze 실험을 통해 알 수 있었으며, rosiglitazone (10 mg/kg)을 먹인 동물에서도 동일한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 본 연구를 통해서 cilostazol이 PPAR-${\gamma}$ 활성화를 통해 $A{\beta}_{25-35}$로 인한 신경세포 손상과 세포사멸을 약화시켜, 신경세포의 생존을 증진시키고, 알츠하이머에서 인지장애를 개선할 것으로 생각된다. 따라서, phosphodiesterase III 억제제인 cilostazol은 알츠하이머 질병 치료에 새로운 전략이 될 수 있을 것이다.

DA-8159. a selective inhibitor of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5: IC$\sub$50/ 5ng/$m\ell$). is being developed as a new treatment for erectile dysfunction. Since DA-8159 has been shown to inhibit PDE6 enzyme (IC$\sub$53ng/$m\ell$). we evaluated the effect of DA-8159 on electroretinogram (ERG) and retinal histopathology in rabbits. The effect of oral DA-8159 (5 to 30mg/kg) on ERG recordings was investigated at pre-treatment. 1 and 5 hrs after administration in rabbits. (omitted)

We synthesized various catechol ether type derivatives substituted by the hydrazine moiety and evaluated for their ability to inhibit PDE Ⅳ (Phosphodiesterase Ⅳ). These new compounds were synthesized from 4-methoxy-3-hydroxy benzaldehyde through 5 or 7 steps. Some of them have similar or more potent inhibitory activity against PDE Ⅳ than known PDE Ⅳ inhibitor. Ariflo (SB 207499). Structure activity relationship (SAR) and biological studies of described compounds will be discussed in detail. (omitted)

Roflumilast analogs are a group of drugs which act as selective photodiesterase (PDE-4) inhibitor for the treatment severe chronic pulmonary disease associated with chronic brochnonities. Structural identification of degradation products using high resolution mass spectrometry and theoretical investigation by density functional theory have been successfully carried out on roflumilast to identify four degradation products namely, 3,5-dichloropyridin-4-amine, N-(3,5-dichloropyridin-4-yl)-4-(difluoromethoxy)-3-hydroxy benzamide, N-(3,5-dichloropyridin-4-yl)-3-(cyclopropylmethoxy)-4-(difluoromethoxy) benzamide and 3-(cyclopropylmethoxy)-N-(3,5-dichloro-1-oxidopyridin-4-yl)-4-(difluoro methoxy) benzamide, generated in alkali, acidic and oxidative conditions.
