Strategic approaches to drug design. II. Modelling studies on phosphodiesterase substrates and inhibitors

J Comput Aided Mol Des. 1987 Jul;1(2):97-119. doi: 10.1007/BF01676955.

Abstract

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.
