Mechanism of action

PDE4 inhibition leads to accumulation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) in immune and inflammatory cells, suppressing the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. This mechanism is intended to reduce airway inflammation and improve lung function in inflammatory airway diseases. The drug is being developed for respiratory indications where PDE4-mediated inflammation plays a pathogenic role.
