摘要

The invention provides N-{[1,6-diethyl-4-(tetrahydro-2H-pyran-4-ylamino)-1H-pyrazolo [3,4-b]pyridin-5-yl]methyl}-4-({8-[(2-hydroxyethyl) (methyl)amino]octanoyl}amino)benzamide, whose formula is or a salt thereof, such as the monohydrochloride salt thereof. The invention also provides the use of the compound or salt as inhibitors of phosphodiesterase type IV (PDE4) and/or for the treatment and/or prophylaxis of inflammatory and/or allergic diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, or rhinitis (e.g. allergic and/or non-allergic rhinitis).
