PDE4A1: 0.7 nM; PDE4B1: 0.7 nM; PDE4A4: 0.9 nM; PDE4B2: 0.2 nM
Titer
Free from inappropriate visible particulates, foreign matter, discoloration, or other defects
Solubility
In vitro: DMSO: 70 mg/mL (173.6 mM); Water: insoluble; Ethanol: 13 mg/mL (32.24 mM); In vivo: 30% PEG400 + 0.5% Tween80 + 5% propylene glycol, 28 mg/mL
Applications
Roflumilast is a metabolism inhibitor that can be used for its ability to reduce inflammation in the airways, improving lung function and reducing exacerbations in patients with COPD.
