Moracin M derivative targeting PDE4 for the treatment of psoriasis
Phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4), a member of the phosphodiesterase superfamily, has highly important roles in cyclic nucleotide signaling pathways and a variety of skin disorders. Blocking PDE4 activity with PDE4 inhibitors increases intracellular cAMP levels

Isolation of Nuclei from Physarum flavicomum: Demonstration of Nuclear Cyclic Acid AMP Phosphodiesterase [PDF]
Cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activity in the nucleus of the myxomycete Physarum flavicomum was demonstrated by cytochemical staining utilizing electron microscopy and by enzymatic assays with tritiated cyclic AMP as the substrate.

Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases as drug targets
Cyclic nucleotides are synthesized by adenylyl and/or guanylyl cyclase, and downstream of this synthesis, the cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase families (PDEs) specifically hydrolyze cyclic nucleotides. PDEs control cyclic adenosine-3',5'monophosphate (cAMP) and cyclic guanosine-3',5'-monophosphate (cGMP) intracellular levels by mediating their quick

Involvement of cyclic AMP in multiple, excitatory actions of biogenic amines on the cardiac ganglion of the horseshoe crab Limulus polyphemus [PDF]
Cyclic AMP appears to be involved in several excitatory actions of amines on neurones of the Limulus cardiac ganglion. Amines selectively increase levels of cardiac ganglion cyclic AMP with a magnitude and time course similar
