Displacement of [3H]rolipram binding was examined using rat brain membranes. Inhibitory activities against PDE4 subtypes were evaluated with cloned human proteins of each PDE4 subtype. Data are expressed as means with 95% confidence limit of three to eight experiments. Used isoforms of PDE4A, PDE4B, PDE4C, and PDE4D were PDE4A4B, PDE4B1A, PDE4C1B, and PDE4D3A, respectively.
