Bioactivity | (S)-(+)-Rolipram ((+)-Rolipram) is a cyclic AMP(cAMP)-specific phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitor, with an IC50 of 1100 nM. (S)-(+)-Rolipram can suppresse tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα) production by human mononuclear cells[1][2][3]. | ||||||||||||
Invitro | (+)-Rolipram (0.015-1000 μM; 20 h) dose-dependently suppress LPS-induced TNF production of human mononuclear cells (MNC), with an IC50 of 550 nM[1]. | ||||||||||||
In Vivo | (+)-Rolipram (0.025-6.25 mg/kg; a single i.p.) dose-dependently inhibits locomotor activity and induces head twitches in rats[2].(+)-Rolipram (0.06-25 mg/kg; a single i.p.) causes a dose-related fall in rectal temperature of rats[2]. | ||||||||||||
