Positive inotropic responses upon administration of milrinone, an inhibitor of the phosphodiesterase enzyme (PDE), involve a well-pronounced positive chronotropic effect. Here we tested whether milrinone evokes this chronotropic response solely by PDE inhibition or by a concerted action that involve additional pharmacological targets. Milrinone stimulated increases in heart rate were studied in right atrial preparations of guinea pig in the presence or absence of inhibitors of putative ancillary molecular pathways or ion channels: i.

Background: Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease, characterized by eczematous skin lesions and pruritus. There is an unmet need for effective first-line systemic therapies with good safety profiles, particularly oral medications. Orismilast is a novel first-in-class oral phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) B/D inhibitor under investigation for the treatment of moderate-to-severe AD.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is associated with cough, sputum production, and a reduction in lung function, quality of life, and life expectancy. Currently, bronchodilator combinations (β2-agonists and muscarinic receptor antagonists, dual therapy) and bronchodilators combined with inhaled corticosteroids (ICS), triple therapy, are the mainstays for the management of COPD. However, the use of ICS in triple therapy has been shown to increase the risk of pneumonia in some patients.
