Product Specifications
Background
Rolipram is a racemic drug that increases brain cAMP availability by inhibiting phosphodiesterase. The S- (+) -Rolipram enantiomer is 2-10x less potent than the R- (-) -Rolipram compound. PDE4B is involved in dopamine-associated and stress-related behaviours, and is believed to be the PDE4 subtype involved in the antipsychotic effects of PDE4 inhibitors such as rolipram.
