Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of treating skeletal muscle cachexia and inflammation associated with burn injury in a subject in need thereof is provided, the method including administering to the subject an effective amount of a phosphodiesterase-4B (PED4B)-selective inhibitor.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A method of treating skeletal muscle cachexia associated with burn injury in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of a phosphodiesterase-4B (PDE4B)-selective inhibitor selected from the group consisting of (4-{[2-(5-Chloro-2-thienyl)-5-ethyl-6-methyl-4-pyrimidinyl]amino}phenyl)acetic acid, (4-{[5-Ethyl-2-(5-fluoro-2-thienyl)-6-methyl-4-pyrimidinyl]amino}-3-fluorophenyl)acetic acid, and combinations thereof. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the PDE4B-selective inhibitor comprises a compound that acts by closing a control region 3 (CR3)C-terminal regulatory domain across an active site of PDE4B, thereby inhibiting PDE4B. 3. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising administering to the subject an effective amount of a phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitor selected from the group consisting of avanafil, lodenafil, mirodenafil, sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil, udenafil, zaprinast, benzamidenafil, and dasantafil. 4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the PDE4B-selective inhibitor and the PDE5 inhibitor are administered contemporaneously or sequentially. 5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the subject is a mammal. 6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the subject is selected from the group consisting of mouse, rat, rabbit, monkey, pig, and human. 7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the subject is a human.
