Abstract

Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) phosphodiesterase (PDE)4 is an intracellular target that can be exploited to the treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), given that it is expressed in all inflammatory cells implicated in this inflammatory airways disease. At the present time, roflumilast is the only PDE4 inhibitor that has received regulatory approval for use in patients with COPD.
