Biochem/physiol Actions

Orally active, potent and selective phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitor in vitro and in vivo.



Apremilast (CC-10004) is an orally active, potent and selective phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitor (IC50 = 20/49/50/30 nM with recombinant human PDE4A4/B2/C2/D3 and 1 μM cAMP; no significant PDE1/2/3/5/7/8/9/10/11 inhibition at 10 μM). Apremilast effectively inhibits LPS-induced cytokine and chemokine protein expression from purified human PBMCs (TNFα/IFNγ/IL12 IC50 = 13/110/120 nM, IP10/MIG/MIP1α IC50 = 10/28/40 nM) in vitro and exhibits therapeutic efficacy in a psoriasis mouse model in vivo (2.5/mg/kg b.i.d. p.o.)

Apremilast is an orally administered phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor, currently in phase 2 clinical studies of psoriasis and other chronic inflammatory diseases. The inhibitory effects of apremilast on pro-inflammatory responses of human primary peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), polymorphonuclear cells, natural killer

Type 4 phosphodiesterases (PDE4) play an important role in immune cells through the hydrolysis of the second messenger, cAMP. Inhibition of PDE4 has previously been shown to suppress immune and inflammatory responses, demonstrating PDE4 to be a valid therapeutic target

In this communication, we report the discovery of 1S (apremilast), a novel potent and orally active phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha inhibitor. The optimization of previously reported 3-(1,3-dioxo-1,3-dihydroisoindol-2-yl)-3-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)propionic acid PDE4 inhibitors led to this series of sulfone analogues.
