Description

Rolipram is a selective phosphodiesterases PDE4 inhibitor with IC50s of 3 nM, 130 nM and 240 nM for PDE4A, PDE4B, and PDE4D, respectively.

IC50 & Target

PDE4

 

In Vitro

The PDE4 selective inhibitor, Rolipram, inhibits immunopurified PDE4B and PDE4D activities similarly, with IC50s of approx. 130 nM and 240 nM respectively. In contrast, Rolipram inhibits immunopurified PDE4A activity with a dramatically lower IC50 of around 3 nM. Rolipram increases phosphorylation of cAMP-response-element-binding protein (CREB) in U937 cells in a dose-dependent fashion, which implies the presence of both high affinity (IC50 approx. 1 nM) and low affinity (IC50 approx. 120 nM) components. Rolipram dose-dependently inhibits the IFN-gamma-stimulated phosphorylation of p38 MAPK in a simple monotonic fashion with an IC50 of approx. 290 nM[1]. Rolipram is a selective PDE4 inhibitor that inhibits all PDE4 isoforms A, B, C and D. Rolipram inhibits LPS-induced TNF production in a dose-dependent manner (IC50 25.9 nM), and maximal/submaximal inhibition is observed with 2 μM drug concentration in J774 cells[2].

In Vivo

TNF mRNA and protein expression is induced by LPS in peritoneal macrophages (PM) from WT mice, and that is clearly (by 74 and 63% for TNF mRNA and TNF protein, respectively) inhibited by Rolipram. LPS-induced TNF production is enhanced in PM from MKP-1(-/-) mice as compared to that in PM from WT mice, which is in line with the published results. Interestingly, the inhibition of TNF mRNA and protein expression by Rolipram is markedly attenuated in PM from MKP-1(-/-) mice and does not reach statistical significance[2]. Repeated administration of Rolipram (1.25 mg/kg, i.p.) reduces the number of escape failures in learned helplessness rats[3].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (9.08 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)

    Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (9.08 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (saturation unknown).

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (25.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.

    Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.

Cell Assay
[2]

J774 murine macrophages (ATCC) are cultured at 37°C in 5% CO2 atmosphere in DMEM supplemented with glutamax-1 containing 10% heat-inactivated FBS. For experiments, cells are seeded on 24-well plates at a density of 2×105 cells per well. Cell monolayers are grown for 72 h before the experiments are started. Rolipram, IBMX and BIRB 796 are dissolved in DMSO, and 8-Br-cAMP in HBSS. LPS (10 ng/mL) or the compounds of interest at concentrations indicated or the solvent (DMSO, 0.1% v/v) are added to the cells in fresh culture medium containing 10% FBS and the supplements. Cells are further incubated for the time indicated. The effect of LPS and the tested chemicals on cell viability is evaluated by Cell Proliferation Kit II (XTT)[2].

Animal Administration
[2]

Mice[2]
Inbred C57BL/6 MKP-1(-/-) mice are used. C57BL/6 mice (20-25 g) are divided into groups of six mice and treated with 200 μL of PBS or Rolipram (100 mg/kg in PBS) by an i.p. injection 2 h before applying carrageenan. Before the administration of carrageenan, the mice are anaesthetized by i.p. injection of 0.5 mg/kg of medetomidine. The mice receive a 30 μL i.d. injection of carrageenan (1.5%, dissolved in normal saline) in one hind paw. The contralateral paw receive 30 μL of saline and it is used as a control. Paw volume is measured before and 3 h after the carrageenan injection with a plethysmometer. Oedema is expressed as a change in paw volume over time.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
