Abstract

We investigated the pharmacology of a new class of phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitor, 6,8-disubstituted 1,7-naphthyridines, by using 4-(8-benzo[1,2,5]oxadiazol-5-yl-[1,7]naphthyridin-6-yl)-benzoic acid (NVP-ABE171) as a representative compound and compared its potency with the most advanced PDE4 inhibitor, undergoing clinical trials, Ariflo [cis-4-cyano-4-(3-cyclopentyloxy-4-methoxyphenyl-r-1-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid)]. NVP-ABE171 inhibited the activity of phosphodiesterase 4A, 4B, 4C, and 4D with respective IC(50) values of 602, 34, 1230, and 1.5 nM. Ariflo was about 40 times less potent. In human cells, NVP-ABE171 inhibited the eosinophil and neutrophil oxidative burst, the release of cytokines by T cells, and the tumor necrosis factor-alpha release from monocytes, in the nanomolar range. Ariflo presented a similar inhibition profile but was 7 to 50 times less potent. In BALB/c mice challenged with lipopolysaccharide, NVP-ABE171 inhibited the airway neutrophil influx and activation with an ED(50) in the range of 3 mg/kg. Ariflo was inactive up to a dose of 10 mg/kg. In ovalbumin sensitized Brown Norway rats, NVP-ABE171 inhibited the lipopolysaccharide-induced airway neutrophil influx and activation (ED(50) of 0.2 mg/kg) and the ovalbumin-induced airway eosinophil influx and activation (ED(50) of 0.1 mg/kg). Ariflo was about 100 times less potent in both models. In the ovalbumin model, NVP-ABE171 had a duration of action of more than 24 h. NVP-ABE171 is a novel PDE4 inhibitor that shows activity both in vitro on human inflammatory cells and in vivo in animal models of lung inflammation. This compound class may have potential for the treatment of airway inflammatory conditions such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 16 August 2011.
All research outputs
#5,446,210
of 25,371,288 outputs
Outputs from The Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics
#946
of 5,547 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#18,326
of 128,677 outputs
Outputs of similar age from The Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics
#18
of 77 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,371,288 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 75th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 5,547 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.1. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 74% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 128,677 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 69% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 77 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 66% of its contemporaries.
