Summary

Modelling studies have been carried out on the phosphodiesterase (PDE) substrates, adenosine- and guanosine-3′5′-cyclic monophosphates, and on a number of non-specific and type III-specific phosphodiesterase inhibitors. These studies have assisted the understanding of PDE substrate differentiation and the design of potent, selective PDE type III inhibitors.
