44 Clinical PDE Inhibitors

Success of therapeutic inhibitors has validated PDEs as important drug targets  Viagra/Cialis/Levitra (PDE5)  – heart failure (PDE3)  – claudication (PDE3)  – anti platelet aggregation, stroke

Studies in clinical trials:  TPI1100 – inflammation – PDE4/7 inhibitor (Topigen)  IC224 series – ADHD, Parkinson’s – PDE1 inhibitors (ICOS/Lilly)  NDxxxx series – depression, chronic inflammation, atherosclerosis – PDE4 inhibitors (Via Pharma, Celgene, and Nycomed)  PF-2545920 – schizophrenia – PDE10 inhibitors (Pfizer)

55 PDE’s potential as drug targets

Regulate second messengers

High PDE activity in many tissues

Many isoforms connected to different physiological functions  21 PDE gene products  Isoform selective inhibitors

PDE’s relatively unique in substrate binding
