COMPOUNDS FOR AND METHOD OF INHIBITING PHOSPHODIESTERASE IV

摘要

Novel compounds which are effective PDE IV inhibitors are disclosed. The compounds possess similar or improved PDE IV inhibition as compared to rolipram, with improved selectivity with regard to, e.g., PDE III inhibition. Preferred compounds are 3-(3-cyclopentyloxy-4-methoxy-benzylamino)-4-hydroxymethyl pyrazole and 3-(3-cyclopentyloxy-4-methoxybenzylamino)-4-methoxymethylpyrazole.
