Caffeine and rolipram affect Smad signalling and TGF-β1 stimulated CTGF and transgelin expression in lung epithelial cells. [PDF]
Caffeine administration is an important part of the therapeutic treatment of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm infants. However, caffeine mediated effects on airway remodelling are still undefined.

Synaptic proteasome is inhibited in Alzheimer’s disease models and associates with memory impairment in mice [PDF]
Abstract Background The proteasome plays key roles in synaptic plasticity and memory by regulating protein turnover, quality control, and elimination of oxidized/misfolded proteins. Here, we investigate proteasome function and localization at synapses in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) post‐mortem brain tissue and in experimental models.

Phosphodiesterase 4B: Master Regulator of Brain Signaling
Phosphodiesterases (PDEs) are the only superfamily of enzymes that have the ability to break down cyclic nucleotides and, as such, they have a pivotal role in neurological disease and brain development. PDEs have a modular structure that allows targeting

Chemical Stimulation of Rodent and Human Cortical Synaptosomes: Implications in Neurodegeneration
Synaptic plasticity events, including long-term potentiation (LTP), are often regarded as correlates of brain functions of memory and cognition. One of the central players in these plasticity-related phenomena is the α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-

Rolipram Prevents the Formation of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) in Mice: PDE4B as a Target in AAA
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a common life-threatening condition characterized by exacerbated inflammation and the generation of reactive oxygen species.

Stereospecificity of rolipram actions on eosinophil cyclic AMP-specific phosphodiesterase [PDF]
The stereospecificity of rolipram inhibition of particulate cyclic AMP-specific phosphodiesterase (PDE IV) from guinea-pig eosinophils has been investigated. (-)-Rolipram (IC50 = 0.22 +/- 0.08 microM) was 2.5-fold more potent than (+)-rolipram (IC50 = 0.58 +/- 0.05 microM) in inhibiting membrane-bound PDE IV. Solubilization of PDE IV with deoxycholate (

We present a metal‐free method for aromatic deuterium labeling via photoexcitation in deuterated HFIP. This approach leverages the enhanced basicity of excited‐state aromatics to achieve selective hydrogen isotope exchange at challenging positions. Demonstrated on complex drug molecules, this efficient strategy provides a valuable tool for isotope ...

Beta amyloid peptides (Aβ) are found to be associated with dysfunction of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA axis) that leads to memory and cognitive deficits in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitors increase
