OPC 3911
OPC 3911 is a highly selective inhibitor of cGMP-inhibited cAMP phosphodiesterase (cGI-PDE/PDE3) and a vasodilator, with an IC50 of 0.042 μM against rat cGI-PDE. OPC 3911 upregulates the expression of Osteopontin. OPC 3911 mediates vasodilation of arterial smooth muscle, induces vasodilatory responses in isolated rat arteriovenous tissues, and exhibits additive vasodilatory effects with Isoprenaline (HY-108353) and Forskolin (HY-15371). OPC 3911 can be used in studies related to congestive heart failure and insulin resistance.

Biological Activity
|
PDE3 42 nM (IC50) |
OPC 3911 (up to 30 μM) induces concentration-dependent relaxation of coronary and renal arteries pre-contracted with 30 mM K+, with EC50 values of 1.4 μM and 0.87 μM, respectively; however, at the dose of 30 μM, it only induces 42% relaxation of pulmonary arteries pre-contracted with 30 mM K+[1].
OPC 3911 exerts concentration-dependent relaxation effects on agonist-contracted coronary arteries (EC50 = 0.54 μM), pulmonary arteries (EC50 = 0.39 μM), and renal arteries (EC50 = 0.83 μM)[1].
OPC 3911 (up to 10 μM) potently relaxes mesenteric arterial segments contracted by Norepinephrine (HY-13715), with an EC50 of 0.51 μM and a maximum relaxation amplitude of 58%[2].
OPC 3911 potently inhibits the cGMP-inhibited low Km cAMP phosphodiesterase purified from rat adipose tissue, with an IC50 of 0.042 μM[2].
OPC 3911 (10 µM) significantly upregulates the protein expression level of osteopontin in primary rat adipocytes[3].
