General description

Rolipram enhances tissue protection, anatomical repair and functional recovery. It is used to treat asthma, arthritis, Huntington′s disease and multiple sclerosis. Rolipram inhibits injury-induced reductions in cyclic AMP, which is associated with acute central nervous system injury. It functions as an antidepressant, stimulates neurite outgrowth and axonal regeneration in the presence of myelin inhibitors.

Application

Rolipram has been used:
  • to investigate its effects on testicular torsion–detorsion injury(36)
  • to block the effects of phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4)(37)
  • as a component in chemically induced long-term potentiation (cLTP) induction media(38)

Biochem/physiol Actions

고리형 뉴클레오타이드를 위한 생체 활성 저분자

고리형 AMP(cAMP), 고리형 GMP(cGMP), 고리형 ADP-리보스를 포함하여 고리형 뉴클레오타이드는 GPCR 활성화에 의해 개시된 세포내 이벤트의 2차 전달자로서 광범위하게 연구되었습니다. cAMP는 주로 cAMP 의존성 단백질 인산화효소(PKA)의 활성화를 통해 모든 진핵생물 세포에서 세포 기능을 변형시키지만 cAMP 개폐 이온 채널 및 cAMP에 의해 직접 활성화되는 구아닌 뉴클레오타이드 교환 인자를 통해서도 변형시킵니다.
