Comment: Revamilast (GRC 4039) is an orally active, selective phosphodiesterase IV (PDE4) inhibitor, that was developed by Glenmark Pharmaceuticals for the treatment of multiple inflammatory conditions (rheumatoid arthritis (RA), asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) , multiple sclerosis, osteoarthritis, neuropathic pain). The chemical structure is claimed as Example 26 in Glenmark patent WO2006064355A2 [1]. GRC 4039 is no longer listed on Glenmark's development pipeline webpage.
Ligand Activity Visualisation ChartsThese are box plot that provide a unique visualisation, summarising all the activity data for a ligand taken from ChEMBL and GtoPdb across multiple targets and species. Click on a plot to see the median, interquartile range, low and high data points. A value of zero indicates that no data are available. A separate chart is created for each target, and where possible the algorithm tries to merge ChEMBL and GtoPdb targets by matching them on name and UniProt accession, for each available species. However, please note that inconsistency in naming of targets may lead to data for the same target being reported across multiple charts. ✖ |

Immunopharmacology Comments |
PDE4 inhibitors have regulatory effects on innate immunity, principally by reducing TNF-α production from leukocytes. In proinflammatory cells pro-inflammatory cytokine (TNF-α) production is attenuated by an elevation in intracellular cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP) levels, as caused by PDE4 inhibition. Phase 2 studies designed to evaluate revamilast in asthma and RA have been completed, but there has been no recent development activity (March 2018), or study results published. |
