Journal ArticleDOI

Apremilast, a cAMP phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor, demonstrates anti-inflammatory activity in vitro and in a model of psoriasis.

TL;DR: The inhibitory effects of apremilast on pro‐inflammatory responses of human primary peripheral blood mononuclear cells, polymorphonuclear Cells, natural killer cells and epidermal keratinocytes were explored in vitro, and in a preclinical model of psoriasis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Apremilast mechanism of action and application to psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.

TL;DR: Apremilast is an orally available targeted PDE4 inhibitor that modulates a wide array of inflammatory mediators involved in psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, including decreases in the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase, TNF-α, and interleukin (IL)-23 and increases IL-10.
Journal ArticleDOI

Orally administered lenalidomide (CC-5013) is anti-angiogenic in vivo and inhibits endothelial cell migration and Akt phosphorylation in vitro.

TL;DR: Oral administration of lenalidomide attenuates growth factor-induced angiogenesis in vivo and significantly inhibits vascularization in a dose-dependent manner, suggesting a potential mechanism of action for its anti-migratory and subsequent anti-angiogenic effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Apremilast is a selective PDE4 inhibitor with regulatory effects on innate immunity.

TL;DR: The pharmacological effects of apremilast are consistent with those of a targeted PDE4 inhibitor, with selective effects on innate immune responses and a wide therapeutic index compared to its gastrointestinal side effects.
