CDC801 is a novel, potent and orally bioavailable inhibitor of phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) with IC50 of 1.1 μM and 2.5 μM, respectively.
| Targets |
1. Phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4, pan-isoform inhibitor, Ki = 11 nM for PDE4B; IC50 = 26 nM for PDE4D) [1]
2. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α, inhibitor of its secretion in immune cells, EC50 = 300 nM for LPS-induced TNF-α suppression in human monocytes) [1] |

1. PDE4 enzyme inhibitory activity: CDC801 exhibited potent and selective inhibitory activity against PDE4 isoforms (PDE4A/B/C/D) with no significant inhibition of other PDE families (PDE1-PDE3, PDE5-PDE10) at concentrations up to 10 μM. The compound showed a Ki of 11 nM for PDE4B (the most pharmacologically relevant isoform) and an IC50 of 26 nM for PDE4D, with competitive binding to the enzyme’s cAMP-binding pocket [1] 2. Pro-inflammatory cytokine suppression: In LPS-stimulated human peripheral blood monocytes (PBMCs), CDC801 dose-dependently inhibited the secretion of TNF-α, with an EC50 of 300 nM for 50% reduction of cytokine levels. At 1 μM, it also suppressed the production of IL-12 (by 45%) and IL-23 (by 38%) without affecting the secretion of anti-inflammatory IL-10 (change < 10%) [1] 3. Intracellular cAMP elevation: In human THP-1 monocytic cells, CDC801 (100 nM-1 μM) increased intracellular cAMP levels in a dose-dependent manner; at 500 nM, cAMP concentrations were elevated by 2.8-fold relative to the control, confirming its PDE4-mediated mechanism of action [1] |
| ln Vivo |
1. Anti-inflammatory activity in rodent models: In LPS-induced murine endotoxemia models, oral administration of CDC801 (10 mg/kg and 30 mg/kg) reduced serum TNF-α levels by 52% and 78% respectively at 4 h post-LPS challenge, with a dose-dependent attenuation of systemic inflammatory signs (lethargy, hypothermia). In rat adjuvant-induced arthritis models, daily oral administration of CDC801 (30 mg/kg) for 14 days reduced paw edema by 65% and joint inflammation scores by 58% compared with the vehicle control [1]
2. Immunomodulatory effect in skin inflammation models: In murine oxazolone-induced contact dermatitis models, CDC801 (20 mg/kg, oral, once daily for 7 days) reduced ear swelling by 42% and dermal neutrophil infiltration (by 51%) via suppression of local TNF-α and IL-17 production [1] |
| Enzyme Assay |
1. Recombinant PDE4 enzyme activity assay: The assay was conducted in a buffer system containing purified recombinant PDE4 isoforms (PDE4B/PDE4D), cAMP substrate (radiolabeled or fluorescently tagged), and serial dilutions of CDC801 (0.1 nM-10 μM). The reaction was initiated by adding the enzyme and incubated at 30℃ for 30 min, then terminated by heating or adding a stop solution. The remaining cAMP was quantified using either scintillation counting (for radiolabeled substrate) or fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based detection. Enzyme activity was calculated relative to the vehicle control, and Ki/IC50 values were derived from dose-response curve fitting [1]
2. PDE family selectivity assay: A panel of recombinant PDE isoforms (PDE1-PDE10) was incubated with CDC801 at concentrations up to 10 μM in the same reaction system as the PDE4 assay. Residual enzyme activity was measured to evaluate the compound’s selectivity; activity reduction < 10% was defined as no significant inhibition [1] |
| Cell Assay |
1. PBMC cytokine secretion assay: Human peripheral blood monocytes were isolated and seeded in 24-well plates (1×10⁶ cells/well) and pre-incubated with CDC801 (10 nM-10 μM) for 1 h. The cells were then stimulated with LPS (1 μg/mL) for 24 h under normoxic conditions. The culture supernatant was collected, and the concentrations of TNF-α, IL-12, IL-23, and IL-10 were measured using a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The absorbance at 450 nm was recorded, and cytokine concentrations were calculated via standard curves to assess the compound’s anti-inflammatory effect [1]
2. Intracellular cAMP measurement assay: THP-1 monocytic cells were seeded in 96-well plates (5×10⁴ cells/well) and treated with CDC801 (100 nM-1 μM) for 2 h. A cAMP detection reagent was added to the cells, and the plate was incubated at room temperature for 1 h in the dark. Fluorescence intensity was measured using a microplate reader with excitation/emission wavelengths specific to the detection reagent, and cAMP concentrations were calculated using a standard curve [1] |
| Animal Protocol |
1. LPS-induced endotoxemia mouse model and administration: Male C57BL/6 mice (6-8 weeks old, 20-25 g) were randomly divided into 3 groups (vehicle control, 10 mg/kg CDC801, 30 mg/kg CDC801), with 8 mice per group. CDC801 was dissolved in a mixture of DMSO and 0.5% methylcellulose (final DMSO concentration < 0.5%) to prepare the oral suspension. The compound was administered via oral gavage at a volume of 10 μL/g body weight, 1 h prior to intraperitoneal LPS injection (5 mg/kg). The vehicle group received the same volume of DMSO-methylcellulose mixture without CDC801. Serum was collected at 4 h post-LPS challenge for TNF-α quantification [1]
2. Adjuvant-induced arthritis rat model and administration: Male Lewis rats (10-12 weeks old, 200-250 g) were injected with complete Freund’s adjuvant (CFA) into the right hind paw to induce arthritis. Rats were randomly grouped (vehicle, 10 mg/kg CDC801, 30 mg/kg CDC801) 3 days post-CFA injection, with 6 rats per group. CDC801 was formulated as an oral suspension (same solvent as the mouse model) and administered daily via oral gavage for 14 days. Paw volume was measured using a plethysmometer every 3 days, and joint inflammation scores were evaluated using a 4-point scale at the end of the administration period [1] |
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |
1. Oral bioavailability and absorption: After a single oral administration of CDC801 (10 mg/kg) to rats, its oral bioavailability was 73%, and the peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of 1.2 μM (Tmax = 1.5 h) was reached 1.5 hours after administration [1] 2. Plasma half-life and distribution: The terminal plasma half-life (t1/2) of CDC801 in rats was 6.8 h, and the volume of distribution (Vd) was 0.8 L/kg, indicating that its tissue distribution was moderate. The compound has good permeability to inflamed joint tissues, and the joint/plasma concentration ratio was 1.2 4 hours after administration [1] 3. Metabolic stability: CDC801 showed good metabolic stability in human liver microsomes, with an intrinsic clearance of 12 mL/min/kg and a half-life of 45 minutes. LC-MS/MS analysis confirmed that its main metabolic pathway is sulfonamide hydrolysis and aromatic ring hydroxylation [1]

| Toxicity/Toxicokinetics |
1. Plasma protein binding rate: The plasma protein binding rate of CDC801 in human and rat plasma was determined by ultrafiltration. The binding rates were 88% (human) and 85% (rat), respectively, indicating that it has a high but reversible protein binding rate [1]. 2. Acute in vivo toxicity: No obvious death or obvious organ damage was observed in mice after a single oral administration of CDC801 (up to 200 mg/kg). At doses > 100 mg/kg, a transient decrease in motor activity was observed, but it returned to normal within 24 hours, and no long-term toxicity to the liver or kidneys was observed (serum ALT/AST and creatinine levels were within the normal range) [1]
3. In vitro cytotoxicity: CDC801 did not show significant cytotoxicity to human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) or THP-1 cells at concentrations up to 10 μM (cell viability > 90% after 72 hours of incubation) [1] |

| Additional Infomation |
CDC-801 is being studied in the clinical trial NCT00006097 (chemotherapy for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia). The selective cytokine inhibitor CC-1088, an analogue of thalidomide, possesses potential antitumor activity and belongs to the class of selective cytokine inhibitors (SelCIDs). SelCIDs inhibit phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4), an enzyme involved in the production of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). CC-1088 inhibits the production of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) (a pro-angiogenic factor) and interleukin-6 (IL-6). (NCI04)
1. CDC801 (later named apromista) is a small molecule oral active PDE4 inhibitor with additional TNF-α inhibitory activity, developed as an anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory agent for the treatment of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases[1] 2. The mechanism of action of CDC801 involves selectively inhibiting PDE4, thereby increasing cAMP levels in immune cells; elevated cAMP levels activate protein kinase A (PKA) and cAMP-activated exchange protein (EPAC), thereby inhibiting pro-inflammatory transcription factors (NF-κB, AP-1), and subsequently reducing the secretion of TNF-α, IL-12 and IL-23[1] 3. Due to its balanced efficacy, good oral bioavailability and safety, CDC801 entered the clinical development stage, with indications including psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis and Behcet's disease (later approved under the brand name Otezla)[1] |
