Description
(extracted from source data)
DESCRIPTION Ensifentrine (RPL-554) is an inhibitor of phosphodiesterases 3 and 4 (PDE3 and PDE4) . It has bronchodilatory action that is mediated by inhibition of PDE3 in airway smooth muscle that is associated with short-term improvement in lung function . Ensifentrine was developed for therapeutic potential in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) . It also also has anti-inflammatory effects in vitro (e.g. reducing TNFα release from human monocytes) and in vivo, likely through inhibtion of PDE4 expressed by inflammatory cells in the lungs . Ensifentrine is active when delivered orally or by inhalation (nebulised) .

COVID-19: A pilot study of ensifentrine in hospitalised COVID-19 patients was initiated in mid-late 2020, but by 2024 no results had been published.

FDA approval of ensifentrine in 2024 made this the first COPD inhalation drug with a new mechanism of action to reach the clinic in more than 20 years. (GtoPdb)
