Biological activities

Rolipram is a potent and selective type IV-specific phosphodiesterase inhibitor. The IC50 of rolipram is 0.3 µM against phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE 4).[1] Rolipram decreases the numbers of myelin basic protein-reactive IFN-γ and TNF-α mRNA-expressing blood mononuclear cells in multiple sclerosis. Rolipram also reduces numbers of AChR-reactive IFN-γ-, TNF-α-, and LT mRNA-positive cells in myasthenia gravis.[2] Rolipram reveals pronounced ureteral relaxation with minimal circulatory effects.[3] Rolipram suppresses inducible nitric oxide synthase at the mRNA level.[4] Rolipram abrogates spinal cord injury-induced PDE4B1 and PDE4A5 production, PDE4A5 phosphorylation, MCP-1 expression and immune cell infiltration, while preventing post-injury reductions in IL-10.[5] Rolipram pretreatment down-regulates both P- and E-selectin expression but has no effect on ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 expression.[6] Rolipram directly inhibits TNF-钃?and IL-12 production following stimulation with IFN-γ and LPS.[7] Rolipram (0.01閳?.0 mg/kg) attenuates the scopolamine-induced (0.5 mg/kg) increase in the total number of errors in dose- and time-dependent manners.[8]

Protocols

In vivo: Rolipram is dissolved in PBS containing cremophor at a concentration of 10% (w/v).[7]
