A multifaceted examination of the action of PDE4 inhibitor rolipram on MMP2/9 reveals therapeutic implications. [PDF]
A PDE4 (phosphodiesterase 4) inhibitor, Rolipram, was previously found to down-regulate (in a manner dependent on cAMP (cyclic adenosine monophosphate)-PKA (protein kinase A)) MMP2 (matrix metalloproteinase 2) and MMP9 protein expression levels ...

The Antidepressant and Antiinflammatory Effects of Rolipram in the Central Nervous System [PDF]
ABSTRACTRolipram is a selective inhibitor of phosphodiesterases (PDE) IV, especially of the subtype PDE IVB. These phosphodiesterases are responsible for hydrolysis of the cyclic nucleotides cAMP and cGMP, particularly in nerve and immune cells. Consequences of rolipram‐induced elevation of intracellular cAMP are increased synthesis and release of ...

Rolipram, a Selective Phosphodiesterase 4 Inhibitor, Ameliorates Mechanical Hyperalgesia in a Rat Model of Chemotherapy-Induced Neuropathic Pain through Inhibition of Inflammatory Cytokines in the Dorsal Root Ganglion [PDF]
Chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain is a significant side effect of chemotherapeutic agents and is the most common reason for stopping chemotherapy. The aim of the present study was to find the major site and mechanisms of action by which rolipram, a ...

The protective effect of the PDE-4 inhibitor rolipram on intracerebral haemorrhage is associated with the cAMP/AMPK/SIRT1 pathway [PDF]
Rolipram specifically inhibits phosphodiesterase (PDE) 4, thereby preventing inactivation of the intracellular second messenger cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP).

Enantiodivergent Synthesis of (R)- and (S)-Rolipram [PDF]
Both enantiomers of rolipram (1) have been prepared in large quantity from a common intermediate rac-3-(3’-cyclopentyloxy-4’-methoxy)phenyl-4-nitro butyric acid (6), which was resolved by way of the two readily separable diastereoisomeric ...

Cyclic AMP signaling promotes regeneration of cochlear synapses after excitotoxic or noise trauma. [PDF]
IntroductionCochlear afferent synapses connecting inner hair cells to spiral ganglion neurons are susceptible to excitotoxic trauma on exposure to loud sound, resulting in a noise-induced cochlear synaptopathy (NICS).

Rolipram Improves Outcome in a Rat Model of Infant Sepsis-Induced Cardiorenal Syndrome
While the mortality rate associated with sepsis in children has fallen over the years, it still remains unacceptably high. The development of both acute cardiac dysfunction and acute kidney injury during severe sepsis is categorized as type 5 cardiorenal
