Roflumilast is an orally available, long-acting inhibitor of phosphodiesterase (PDE) type 4 (PDE4), with anti-inflammatory and potential antineoplastic activities. Upon administration, roflumilast and its active metabolite roflumilast N-oxide selectively and competitively bind to and inhibit PDE4, which leads to an increase of both intracellular levels of cyclic-3',5'-adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and cAMP-mediated signaling. cAMP prevents phosphorylation of spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) and abrogates activation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway, which may result in the induction of apoptosis. PDE4, a member of the PDE superfamily that hydrolyses cAMP and 3',5'-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) to their inactive 5' monophosphates, is upregulated in a variety of cancers and may contribute to chemoresistance; it also plays a key role in inflammation, especially in inflammatory airway diseases.
Roflumilast is a Phosphodiesterase 4 Inhibitor. The mechanism of action of roflumilast is as a Phosphodiesterase 4 Inhibitor.

5 Pharmacology and Biochemistry
5.1 Pharmacology

Roflumilast (and its active metabolite, roflumilast N-oxide) increases cyclic adenosine-3, 5-monophosphate (cAMP) in lung cells by inhibiting PDE4. Increased cAMP activates PKA, which inactivates transcription factors involved in inflammation. Romflumilast also decreases the amount of sputum neutrophils and eosinophils in COPD patients.

5.4 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

After a 500mcg dose, the bioavailability of roflumilast is about 80%. In the fasted state, maximum plasma concentrations are reached in 0.5 to 2 hours. While in the fed state, Cmax is reduced by 40%, Tmax is increased by one hour, and total absorption is unchanged.


Route of Elimination

Roflumilast is excreted 70% in the urine as roflumilast N-oxide.


Volume of Distribution

Roflumilast has a Vd of 2.9L/kg with a dose of 500mcg. Permeability of roflumilast across the blood-brain barrier appears to be poor in rat studies.


Clearance

~9.6 L/hour.


5.5 Metabolism/Metabolites

Roflumilast is metabolized to roflumilast N-oxide, the active metabolite of roflumilast in humans, by CYP3A4 and CYP1A2.


5.6 Biological Half-Life

Plasma half-life of roflumilast is 17 hours and its metabolite is 30 hours (oral dose).


5.7 Mechanism of Action

Roflumilast is a phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE-4) inhibitor which, due to its selective inhibition of the PDE4 isoenzyme, has potential antiinflammatory and antimodulatory effects in the pulmonary system. It is thought that the increased levels of intracellular cyclic AMP are responsible for the therapeutic actions of Roflumilast.
