(R,S)-Rolipram（Cat No.:A000755）is a phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) inhibitor that raises intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP) levels, thereby exerting anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects. Initially explored as an antidepressant, Rolipram demonstrated potential in modulating immune responses, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokine release, and improving cognitive functions. Due to its effects on cAMP, (R,S)-Rolipram is also studied in neurodegenerative and autoimmune disorders, as it may help protect neural tissue and regulate immune responses. Its role in research extends to understanding cAMP-mediated pathways, making it valuable for studies in inflammation, neurology, and immunology.
