Inhibitors of phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) have been approved for the treatment of inflammatory disorders, but are associated with dose-limiting nausea and vomiting. These side effects are hypothesized to be mediated by inhibition of the PDE4D isozyme. Here we demonstrate the anti-inflammatory effects of the novel brain penetrant PDE4D-sparing PDE4 inhibitor, ABI-4. ABI-4 was a potent (EC50 similar to 14 nM) inhibitor of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced TNF-alpha release from mouse microglia and human PBMCs. ABI-4 (0.32 mg/kg) blocked LPS-induced release of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-alpha, IL-1 beta, IL-6) in blood and brain of mice. In a rat model of endotoxin induced uveitis, ABI-4 (0.03-0.3 mg/kg) demonstrated steroid-like efficacy in preventing leucocyte infiltration of the aqueous humor when administered 4 h after LPS. LPS (0.32 mg/kg x 5 days) caused a 30% upregulation of translocator protein (TSPO) binding which was prevented by co-administration of ABI-4 (0.32 mg/kg). In a paradigm to assess motivation, LPS (0.32 mg/kg) reduced the number of rewards received, whereas the effect was significantly blunted in mice dosed with ABI-4 (P < 0.05) or in PDE4B-/- mice. PDE4B was also shown to modulate brain and plasma levels of TNF-alpha and IL-1 beta in aged mice. Aged mice dosed chronically with ABI-4 (0.32 mg/kg) as well as aged PDE4B-/- mice, had significantly lower levels of TNF-alpha, and IL-1 beta in brain and plasma relative to vehicle treated or PDE4+/+ mice. Together these data demonstrate that the PDE4D sparing, PDE4 inhibitor, ABI-4 retains potency and efficacy in exerting anti-inflammatory effects. This mechanism warrants further investigation in human disorders involving neuroinflammation. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
