CofA
Rolipram is a selective phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor discovered and developed by Schering AG as a potential antidepressant drug in the early 1990s. It was previously used as an antideppresant but was discontinued because of its serious side effects. Rolipram has shown to boost the levels of NMNAT2 (Nicotinamide mononeucleotide adenylyl transferase 2), an enzyme that blocks the processes associated with dementia - a form of Alzheimers. In other studies it has shown to breakdown misfolded tau proteins.

USE
Rolipram is a selective, cell-permeable inhibitor of cAMP-specific PDE (phosphodiesterase) (PDE4, IC50=1 μM). This compound has been shown to inhibit PDE4 activity in human cavernosal tissue, which interrupts the signal transduction pathway of erectile response. Rolipram promotes apoptosis in HL60 cells through a cAMP-independent mechanism and has been shown to enhance neuronal survival. Rolipram is an inhibitor of PDE4A1 and PDE4B.

Handling
Further processing of solid materials may result in the formation of combustible dusts. The potential for combustible dust formation should be taken into consideration before additional processing occurs. Provide appropriate exhaust ventilation at places where dust is formed.
