J Pharm Sci. 2013 Jul;102(7):2120-7. | Inhibitory effects of hesperetin derivatives on guinea pig phosphodiesterases and their ratios between high- and low-affinity rolipram binding.[Pubmed: 23666855] |
The phosphodiesterase (PDE)4 molecule exists as two distinct conformers, PDE4H and PDE4L , which have high and low affinities, respectively, for the selective PDE4 inhibitor, rolipram.
The inhibition of PDE4H and PDE4L is associated with adverse responses, such as nausea, vomiting, and gastric hypersecretion, and with anti-inflammatory and bronchodilator effects, respectively.
METHODS AND RESULTS:
We determined the therapeutic (PDE4H/PDE4L) ratios of hesperetin-7-O-methylether(Hesperetin-7-methyl ether), hesperetin-5,7,3'-O-trimethylether (HTME), hesperetin-7-O-acetate, hesperetin-7,3'-O-diacetate, hesperetin-5,7,3'-O-triacetate (HTA), hesperetin-5,7,3'-O-tripropionate, hesperetin-5,7,3'-O-tributyrate, hesperetin-5,7,3'-O-triisobutyrate, and hesperetin-5,7,3'-O-tripivatate, and compared these ratios to those of hesperetin, hesperetin-7,3'-O-dimethylether, hesperidin, and hesperidin-3'-O-methylether to identify derivatives with therapeutic ratios and to characterize the structure-activity relationships among these compounds. |
