Inflammatory bowel disease is a recurrent chronic intestinal inflammatory disease with unknown etiology and no effective treatment. Phosphodiesterase (PDE) regulates a variety of physiological and pathophysiological processes by mediating the hydrolysis of intracellular second messengers cyclic adenosine monophosphate and cyclic guanosine monophosphate. In recent years, a series of researches suggest that PDE inhibitors such as several PDE4 inhibitors, PDE5 inhibitors (sildenafil, tadalafil and vardenafil), PDE3 inhibitors (cilostazol), PDE9 inhibitor (PF-04447943) and PDE3/PDE4 double inhibitor (pumafentrine) have ameliorating effect on experimental colitis in animals. In clinical trials, PDE4 inhibitor apremilast showed more therapeutic advantage than tetomilast. This article reviews the recent research progress of PDE inhibitors in treatment of inflammatory bowel disease.

Lipophilicity is one of the principal QSAR parameters which influences among others the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetic properties of a drug candidates. In this paper, the lipophilicity of 14 amide derivatives of 1,3-dimethyl-2,6-dioxopurin-7-yl-alkylcarboxylic acids as multifunctional TRPA1 channel antagonists and phosphodiesterase 4/7 inhibitors with analgesic activity were investigated, using reversed-phase thin-layer chromatography method. It was observed that the retention behavior of the analyzed compounds was dependent on their structural features i.e. an aliphatic linker length, a kind of substituent at 8 position of purine-2,6-dione scaffold as well as on a substitution in a phenyl group. The experimental parameters (R_M0) were compared with computationally calculated partition coefficient values by Principal Component Analysis (PCA). To verify the influence of lipophilic parameter of the investigated compounds on their biological activity the Kruskal-Wallis test was performed. The lowest lipophilicity was observed for the compounds with weak PDE4/7 inhibitory potency. The differences between the lipophilicity of potent inhibitors and inactive compounds were statistically significant. It was found that the presence of more lipophilic propoxy- or butoxy- substituents as well as the elongation of the aliphatic chain to propylene one between the purine-2,6-dione core and amide group were preferable for desired multifunctional activity.

A series of novel amide derivatives of 1,3-dimethyl-2,6-dioxopurin-7-yl-alkylcarboxylic acids designed using a structure-based computational approach was synthesized and assayed to evaluate their ability to block human TRPA1 channel and inhibit PDE4B/7A activity. We identified compounds 16 and 27 which showed higher potency against TRPA1 compared to HC-030031. In turn, compound 36 was the most promising multifunctional TRPA1 antagonist and PDE4B/7A dual inhibitor with IC₅₀ values in the range of that of the reference rolipram and BRL-50481, respectively. Compound 36 as a combined TRPA1/PDE4B/PDE7A ligand was characterized by a distinct binding mode in comparison to 16 and 27, in the given protein targets. The inhibition of both cAMP-specific PDE isoenzymes resulted in a strong anti-TNF-α effect of 36in vivo. Moreover, the potent anti-inflammatory and analgesic efficacy of 36 was observed in animal models of pain and inflammation (formalin test in mice and carrageenan-induced paw edema in rats). This compound also displayed significant antiallodynic properties in the early phase of chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy in mice. In turn, the pure TRPA1 antagonists 16 and 27 revealed a statistically significant antiallodynic effect in the formalin test and in the von Frey test performed in both phases of oxaliplatin-induced allodynia. Antiallodynic activity of the test compounds 16, 27 and 36 was observed at a dose range comparable to that of the reference drug - pregabalin. In conclusion, the proposed approach of pain treatment based on the concomitant blocking of TRPA1 channel and PDE4B/7A inhibitory activity appears to be interesting research direction for the future search for novel analgesics.
