Application

Zardaverine has been used as a phosphodiesterase inhibitor:
  • to study its effects on human colonic epithelial cells
  • to study its effects on junctional proteins in Sertoli cells
  • to study its effects on phosphodiesterase 3 A (PDE3A) expression in various tumor cells

Biochem/physiol Actions

Zardaverine is a derivative of pyridazinone. It shows anti-tumor and anti-proliferative activity in varied cell lines. Zardaverine possesses broncho-dilatory activity and exhibits therapeutic effects against asthma.
Selective inhibitor of phosphodiesterase III/IV (PDE3/4).
