RNA interference‐mediated phosphodiesterase 4D splice variants knock‐down in the prefrontal cortex produces antidepressant‐like and cognition‐enhancing effects
25 Sept 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitors produce potent antidepressant-like and cognition-enhancing effects. However, their clinical utility is limited by the major side effect of emesis, which appears to be PDE4 isoform-specific. Although PDE4D subtype plays the pivotal role in these therapeutic profiles, it is also the primary subtype responsible for emesis. Therefore, the aim of present...
