33 Introduction
Phosphodiesterases are enzymes that play a major role in cell signaling and function, by regulating levels of the second messengers cAMP and cGMP

44 Clinical PDE Inhibitors
Success of therapeutic inhibitors has validated PDEs as important drug targets Viagra/Cialis/Levitra (PDE5) Milrinone – heart failure (PDE3) Cilostazol – claudication (PDE3) Dipyridamole – 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
