Structural highlights
FunctionPDE4B_HUMAN Hydrolyzes the second messenger cAMP, which is a key regulator of many important physiological processes. May be involved in mediating central nervous system effects of therapeutic agents ranging from antidepressants to antiasthmatic and anti-inflammatory agents.[1] [2] Evolutionary Conservation![]() Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedPDE4 inhibitors have the potential to alleviate the symptoms and underlying inflammation associated with dry eye. Disclosed herein is the development of a novel series of water-soluble PDE4 inhibitors. Our studies led to the discovery of coumarin 18, which is effective in a rabbit model of dry eye and a tear secretion test in rats.
