Abstract
The coupling reaction of 1,3-dimethylxanthine (theophylline), 3-benzylxanthine and 3-benzyl-1-methylxanthine with 1-O-acetyl-2,3,5-tri-O-benzoyl-β-D-ribofuranose afforded the corresponding protected nucleosides, respectively. Nitration of each of the theophylline and 3-benzy-1-methyllxanthine protected nucleosides yielded the corresponding 8-nitronucleosides derivatives, which were reduced to give the corresponding 8-aminonucleoside derivatives. Debenzoylation of protected nucleosides formed by using methanolic sodium methoxide afforded the corresponding free N-nucleosides, respectively. The structures of products have been elucidated and reported and also some of the products were screened for their antimicrobial activity. Some of tested products showed moderate activity.

Abstract
Cilia of olfactory sensory neurons are the primary sensory organelles for olfaction. The detection of odorants by the main olfactory epithelium (MOE) depends on coupling of odorant receptors to the type 3 adenylyl cyclase (AC3) in olfactory cilia. We monitored the effect of airflow on electro-olfactogram (EOG) responses and found that the MOE of mice can sense mechanical forces generated by airflow. The airflow-sensitive EOG response in the MOE was attenuated when cAMP was increased by odorants or by forskolin suggesting a common mechanism for airflow and odorant detection. In addition, the sensitivity to airflow was significantly impaired in the MOE from AC3(-/-) mice. We conclude that AC3 in the MOE is required for detecting the mechanical force of airflow, which in turn may regulate odorant perception during sniffing.

Abstract
Synthesis and physicochemical properties of N-benzyl pyrimido[2,1-f]purinediones are described. These derivatives were synthesized by the cyclization of 7-chloropropylo-8-bromo-1,3-dimethyl- or 1,3-dipropyl xanthine derivatives with corresponding (un)substituted benzylamines. Dipropyl derivatives were obtained under microwave irradiation conditions either. The obtained compounds (1-20) were evaluated for their affinity to adenosine A1 and A2A receptors, selected compounds were additionally investigated for affinity to the A3 receptor subtype. The results of the radioligand binding assays to A1 and A2A adenosine receptors showed that most of the 1,3-dimethyl-9-benzylpyrimidopurinediones exhibited selective affinity to A2A receptors at micromolar or submicromolar concentrations (for example, derivative 9 with o-methoxy substituent displayed a Ki value of 0.699 microM at rat A2A receptor with more than 36-fold selectivity). Contrary to previously described arylpyrimido[2,1-f]purinediones dipropyl derivatives (compounds 15-20) showed affinity to both kinds of receptors increased, however A1 affinity increased to a larger extent, with the result that A2A selectivity was abolished. The best adenosine A1 receptor ligand was m-chlorobenzyl derivative 18 (Ki=0.089 microM and 5-fold A1 selectivity). Structure-activity relationships were discussed with the analysis of lipophilic and spatial properties of the investigated compounds. Pharmacophore model of adenosine A1 receptor antagonist was adopted for this purpose.

Abstract
The cAMP signalling pathway has emerged as a key regulator of haematopoietic cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. In parallel, general understanding of the biology of cyclic nucleotide PDEs (phosphodiesterases) has advanced considerably, revealing the remarkable complexity of this enzyme system that regulates the amplitude, kinetics and location of intracellular cAMP-mediated signalling. The development of therapeutic inhibitors of specific PDE gene families has resulted in a growing appreciation of the potential therapeutic application of PDE inhibitors to the treatment of immune-mediated illnesses and haematopoietic malignancies. This review summarizes the expression and function of PDEs in normal haematopoietic cells and the evidence that family-specific inhibitors will be therapeutically useful in myeloid and lymphoid malignancies.

Abstract
A growing body of evidence suggests that CRF(1) receptor antagonism offers considerable therapeutic potential in the treatment of diseases resulting from elevated levels of CRF, such as anxiety and depression. A series of novel 1,2,3,7-tetrahydro-6H-purin-6-one and 3,7-dihydro-1H-purine-2,6-dione derivatives was synthesized and evaluated as corticotropin releasing factor-1 (CRF(1)) receptor antagonists. Compounds within this series, represented by compound 12d (IC(50) = 5.4 nM), were found to be highly potent CRF(1) receptor antagonists. In addition, compounds 12d and 12j were determined to be selective CRF(1) antagonists. The synthesis, structure-activity relationships and pharmacokinetic properties of compounds within this series is presented.

Abstract
The thermophilic filamentous phototroph Chloroflexus aggregans was able to form a bacterial mat-like dense cell aggregate rapidly. The aggregate formation, which was observed in growing cells in a liquid medium in a bottle, occurred every time within 20-30 min after the cells were dispersed by shaking. The aggregation depended on the energy supplied by photosynthesis or respiration. Cells aggregated most rapidly under temperature and pH conditions that support maximum growth. The aggregation was also accelerated by the addition of 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine that inhibits cyclic 3',5'-AMP phosphodiesterase. Microscopic observation revealed that the bacterium has a fast gliding mobility (1-3 microm s(-1)). The distinctive cell aggregation of C. aggregans was due to this rapid gliding movement.

Abstract
The antiasthmatic drug enprofylline was the first known selective, though not potent, A(2B) antagonist. On the basis of structure-activity relationships (SARs) of xanthine derivatives, we designed a novel selective adenosine A(2B) receptor antagonist, 3-isobutyl-8-pyrrolidinoxanthine (IPDX), with potency greater than that of enprofylline. IPDX displaced [3H]ZM241385 ([3H]4-(2-[7-amino-2-(2-furyl)[1,2,4]triazolo[2,3-a]-[1,3,5]triazin-5-ylamino]ethyl)phenol) from human A(2B) adenosine receptors with a K(i) value of 470 +/- 2 nM and inhibited A(2B)-dependent cyclic AMP (cAMP) accumulation in human erythroleukemia (HEL) cells with a K(B) value of 625 +/- 71 nM. We found that IPDX was more selective than enprofylline toward human A(2B) receptors. It was 38-, 55-, and 82-fold more selective for human A(2B) than for human A(1) (K(i) value of 24 +/- 8 microM), human A(2A) (K(B) value of 36 +/- 8 microM), and human A(3) (K(i) value of 53 +/- 10 microM) adenosine receptors, respectively. IPDX inhibited NECA (5'-N-ethylcarboxamidoadenosine)-induced interleukin-8 secretion in human mast cells (HMC-1) with a potency close to that determined for A(2B)-mediated cAMP accumulation in HEL cells, thus confirming the role of A(2B) adenosine receptors in mediating human mast cell activation. Since adenosine triggers bronchoconstriction in asthmatic patients through human mast cell activation, IPDX may become a basis for the development of new antiasthmatic drugs with improved properties compared with those of enprofylline. Our data demonstrate that IPDX can be used as a tool to differentiate between A(2B) and other adenosine receptor-mediated responses.

Abstract
Activation of protein kinase C (PKC) stimulates adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) release synergistically in the presence of corticotropin releasing factor (CRF). We examined the effect of a cyclic nucleotide-specific phosphodiesterase inhibitor, 1-isoamyl-3-isobutylxanthine (IIX), on arginine vasopressin (AVP)-induced ACTH release and intracellular cAMP accumulation in normal rat anterior pituitary cells. IIX alone elevated intracellular cAMP accumulation. IIX potentiated AVP-induced ACTH release synergistically without further increase in cAMP accumulation, suggesting that synergistic ACTH release has an alternative mechanism other than the synergistic elevation of intracellular cAMP accumulation which has been reported. Phorbol 12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) also induced synergistic ACTH release when incubated with IIX. IIX had no additional effect on ACTH response when incubated with maximal dose of CRF, forskolin or 8-bromoadenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (8-Br-cAMP). Moreover, the combination of PMA and 8-Br-cAMP produced synergistic ACTH response. In conclusion, the synergistic ACTH release from rat pituitary corticotrophs occurs at least in the presence of directly activating events of PKC and PKA as well as PKC-induced inhibition of phosphodiesterase activity.

Abstract
A series of 8-substituted derivatives of 3,7-dimethyl-1-propargylxanthine (DMPX) was synthesized and investigated as A2A adenosine receptor antagonists. Different synthetic strategies for the preparation of DMPX derivatives and analogues were explored. A recently developed synthetic procedure starting from 3-propargyl-5,6-diaminouracil proved to be the method of choice for the preparation of this type of xanthine derivatives. The novel compounds were investigated in radioligand binding studies at the high-affinity adenosine receptor subtypes A1 and A2A and compared with standard A2A adenosine receptor antagonists. Structure-activity relationships were analyzed in detail. 8-Styryl-substituted DMPX derivatives were identified that exhibit high affinity and selectivity for A2A adenosine receptors, including 8-(m-chlorostyryl)-DMPX (CS-DMPX, Ki A2A = 13 nM, 100-fold selective), 8-(m-bromostyryl)-DMPX (BS-DMPX, Ki A2A = 8 nM, 146-fold selective), and 8-(3,4-dimethoxystyryl)-DMPX (Ki A2A = 15 nM, 167-fold selective). These and other novel compounds are superior to the standard A2A adenosine receptor antagonists KF17837 (4) and CSC (5) with respect to A2A affinity and/or selectivity.

Abstract
Stellate cells isolated from rat liver and cultured on uncoated plastic plates in serum-containing medium started proliferating and transforming to myofibroblastic cells. However, stellate cells did not proliferate when cultured in the presence of 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine or dibutyryl cAMP (dBcAMP). These substances significantly reduced [3h] thymidine incorporation of the proliferating cells. Morphologically, stellate cells cultured in the presence of 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine or dibutyryl cAMP kept well-developed processes and lipid droplets while untreated cells exhibited myofibroblastic characteristics. Western blot analysis and immunocytochemical studies revealed that 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine and dBcAMP suppressed the expression of alpha-smooth muscle actin in stellate cells. 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine increased the cellular levels of cAMP from a basal value of 0.7 +/- 0.1 to 8.5 +/- 1.7 pmol/well in stellate cells. Thus, 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine and dBcAMP inhibit the myofibroblastic transformation of stellate cells in vitro in some cAMP-related mechanism.

Abstract
The cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitory profile of four related xanthine derivatives: pentoxifylline (BL 191), propentofylline (HWA 285), torbafylline (HWA 448) and albifylline (HWA 138), pharmacologically active on the peripheral and/or cerebral microcirculation was established using the four main PDE isoforms present in rat heart cytosol. HPLC on a Mono Q ion-exchange column resolved four separate cyclic nucleotide PDE activities: a calmodulin-activated fraction (PDE I), a cGMP-stimulated fraction (PDE II), a cAMP-specific rolipram-sensitive fraction (PDE IV) and a cGMP-inhibited fraction (PDE III). Among the four compounds studies, only torbafylline and pentoxifylline inhibited more efficiently the calcium plus calmodulin-stimulated than the basal activity of PDE I. The four xanthine derivatives inhibited more potently the cGMP-stimulated than the basal activity of the cGMP-stimulatable PDE II, propentofylline being the most inhibitory (IC50: 20 microM). Except for propentofylline, which exhibited a marked selectivity toward the rolipram-sensitive PDE versus the cGMP-inhibited PDE III, the other xanthines modestly (IC50 in the 10(-4) M range) inhibited both cAMP-specific isoforms with similar potency. Propentofylline proved to be the best inhibitor whatever the considered isoform whereas torbafylline exhibited the weakest inhibitory potency with, however, some selectivity for PDE I.

Abstract
Previous studies have shown that certain peptides of the secretin-glucagon family stimulate tyrosine hydroxylase activity in sympathetic neurons of the superior cervical ganglion and three of its end organs, i.e., the iris, pineal gland, and submaxillary gland. To determine whether a similar regulation occurs in other sympathetic neurons, the effects of two of these peptides, secretin and vasoactive intestinal peptide, were examined in the right cardiac ventricle of the rat, a tissue innervated primarily by the middle and inferior cervical ganglia. Both peptides stimulated tyrosine hydroxylase activity, measured in situ, in this tissue. In addition, several second messenger systems were investigated as possible mediators of this peptidergic stimulation of tyrosine hydroxylase activity in autonomic end organs. 8-Bromoadenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate and forskolin elevated tyrosine hydroxylase activity in slices of both the right ventricle and the submaxillary gland. 8-Bromoguanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate also stimulated tyrosine hydroxylase activity in both tissues, whereas nitroprusside stimulated activity only in the submaxillary slices. Furthermore, the phosphodiesterase inhibitors 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine and/or Ro 20-1724 potentiated the stimulation by secretin, as well as the stimulations by forskolin and nitroprusside. Phorbol 12,13-dibutyrate also stimulated tyrosine hydroxylase activity in cardiac and submaxillary slices; however, no potentiation of these effects was seen following addition of either phosphodiesterase inhibitor. These data, taken together with those of previous studies, suggest a role for a cyclic nucleotide, probably adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate, in the peptidergic stimulation of tyrosine hydroxylase activity in sympathetic nerve terminals.

Abstract
1. Full inhibition of thrombin-induced platelet aggregation was elicited by the least maximal platelet inhibitory concentrations of nitric oxide (NO; 7 +/- 1 microM) or NO-donors which included sodium nitroprusside (NaNp; 80 +/- 13 microM) 3-morpholinosydnonimine (SIN-1; 3 +/- 0.1 microM) or endothelial cells (EC; 2.36 +/- 0.12 x 10(5) added 1 min before thrombin. Oxyhaemoglobin (oxyHb; 10 microM) administered 30s to 10 min after stimulation with thrombin caused a time-dependent reversal of the inhibition induced by these agents. OxyHb was ineffective when these agents were co-incubated with the non-selective phosphodiesterase inhibitor 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX, 0.05 mM). 2. OxyHb did not reverse the platelet inhibition with IBMX (0.2 mM) or that caused by a selective guanosine 3'; 5'-cyclic monophosphate (cyclic GMP) phosphodiesterase inhibitor 2-O-propoxyphenyl-8-azapurin-6-one, (M & B 22948; 20 microM). In addition, oxyHb did not reverse the inhibition with iloprost (1 nM) which inhibits platelet aggregation through stimulation of adenylate cyclase. 3. The inhibition of platelet aggregation by NO (7 +/- 1 microM) or NaNp (80 +/- 13 microM) was accompanied by a 13 fold increase in cyclic GMP levels occurring within 15 s of addition of these agents. In the continued presence of NO or NaNp, the reversing effect of oxyHb given 1 min after thrombin was associated with a pronounced decrease in cyclic GMP levels. 4. We conclude that the inhibition of platelet aggregation by activators of guanylate cyclase depends in the first few minutes on continuous stimulation of the enzyme in order to maintain intracellular concentrations of cyclic GMP, except when its breakdown is inhibited. 5. The addition of agents such as oxyHb after the inhibition of platelet aggregation offers another way of investigating the biochemical changes involved in maintaining platelets in an inactive state.

Abstract
The effects of the beta-adrenoceptor agonist, isoprenaline, on Ca2+ mobilization and inositol phosphate formation in parotid acinar cells were examined. Isoprenaline (2 microM) failed to increase cytosolic [Ca2+] in acinar cells, as measured by Fura-2 fluorescence, even in the presence of a phosphodiesterase inhibitor. Likewise, neither the 8-bromo nor the dibutyryl derivatives of cAMP (both at 2 mM concentration) increased [Ca2+]i. However, in confirmation of results previously published, a higher concentration of isoprenaline (200 microM) increased cytosolic [Ca2+]i of rat parotid acinar cells, from 104 +/- 4 nM to 151 +/- 18 nM. The increase in [Ca2+]i in response to isoprenaline, while transient in the absence of extracellular Ca2+, was sustained in Ca2(+)-containing medium. This isoprenaline-stimulated Ca2+ signal was more potently antagonized by phentolamine than by propranolol, suggesting that the higher concentration of isoprenaline activated alpha-adrenoceptors. Furthermore, the Ca2+ signal generated in response to the alpha-adrenoceptor agonist, phenylephrine, also was blocked by the same concentrations of propranolol necessary to block the effects of isoprenaline, suggesting that propranolol may block alpha-adrenoceptors under certain experimental conditions. The high concentration of (-)isoprenaline (200 microM) also increased inositol (1,4,5) trisphosphate and inositol (1,3,4) trisphosphate formation 45% within 30 s. Analogous to the increase in intracellular Ca2+, the formation of inositol phosphates stimulated by isoprenaline was more potently antagonized by the alpha-adrenoceptor antagonist, phentolamine, than by the beta-adrenoceptor antagonist, propranolol, again suggesting that isoprenaline interacts with alpha-adrenoceptors on parotid cells. Thus, the effects of isoprenaline on [Ca2+]i do not appear to be mediated by cAMP.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Vasopressin has been shown previously to lower the glucagon-induced increase of cyclic AMP levels in isolated rat hepatocytes by way of an enhanced phosphodiesterase (EC 3.1.4.17) activity. Five phosphodiesterase inhibitors were tested for their ability to prevent vasopressin from lowering cyclic AMP levels in intact hepatocytes and for their inhibitory effect in vitro on soluble and particulate phosphodiesterase activities partially purified from hepatocytes. Three soluble activities have been separated by DEAE-cellulose chromatography: a phosphodiesterase hydrolyzing both cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP, a form stimulated by cyclic GMP and a cyclic AMP-specific activity. The absence of any statistically significant correlation between the in vivo (in intact cells) and the in vitro (on isolated phosphodiesterases) potencies of the inhibitors does not support a role for the cytosolic phosphodiesterases in mediating the vasopressin-induced decrease in cyclic AMP levels. No statistically significant correlation was observed between the inhibition of the vasopressin effect on cyclic AMP accumulation and the inhibition of phosphodiesterase activity either associated with the native plasma membranes or solubilized from these membranes with 0.4 M NaCl. In contrast, a statistically significant correlation was observed between the degree of inhibition of the vasopressin effect in the intact cells and the degree of inhibition of the intrinsic phosphodiesterase still associated with the plasma membranes after high-salt treatment. These data indicate that a phosphodiesterase activity integral to the plasma membrane is very likely involved in the negative control of cyclic AMP levels by vasopressin.

Abstract
Modelling studies have been carried out on the phosphodiesterase (PDE) substrates, adenosine- and guanosine-3'5'-cyclic monophosphates, and on a number of non-specific and type III-specific phosphodiesterase inhibitors. These studies have assisted the understanding of PDE substrate differentiation and the design of potent, selective PDE type III inhibitors.

Abstract
The regulation of dopamine biosynthesis in tuberoinfundibular dopaminergic (TIDA) neurons by adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) was investigated in the present study. Dopamine biosynthesis in TIDA neurons was estimated by the rate of in vitro dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) accumulation in the median eminence of rat hypothalamic slices after incubation with a DOPA decarboxylase inhibitor. Addition of dibutyryl cAMP (db-cAMP) into medium caused an increase in the rate of DOPA accumulation in the median eminence in a dose- and time-dependent manner. 8-Bromo-cAMP also increased the rate of DOPA accumulation in the median eminence and cAMP was less effective than db-cAMP whereas neither adenosine nor sodium butyrate altered the rate of DOPA accumulation. An increase in the concentration of endogenous cAMP achieved by addition into medium of isobutylmethylxanthine, a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, or forskolin, an adenylate cyclase activator, was associated with an increase in the rate of DOPA accumulation in the medium eminence. db-cAMP, however, had an almost negligible effect on the secretion of dopamine from the median eminence. The stimulatory effect of db-cAMP on DOPA accumulation in the median eminence was not dependent upon the presence of extracellular Ca2+ and was not blocked by tetrodotoxin. Furthermore, the stimulation of DOPA accumulation in the median eminence induced by db-cAMP was additive with that induced by high potassium depolarization, which was Ca2+ -dependent. These results suggest that dopamine biosynthesis in TIDA neurons is regulated by two distinct mechanisms, one of which involves cAMP, and another of which involves Ca2+.

Abstract
The laterofrontal (LF) cirri on isolated gill filaments of Mytilus edulis, prepared in natural seawater, are active and initially beat with an average frequency of about 8 Hz (with a range of 6-14 Hz). However, the lateral (L) cilia on these filaments are arrested in a position at the end of their recovery stroke. Perfusion of the filament with artificial seawater (ASW), with or without 1% ethanol, has little or no biological effect on the activity of the LF cirri, although a transitory decrease in frequency often accompanies the perfusion process. The L cilia remain arrested during perfusion with ASW. The exposure of the gill to low levels of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5HT) (10(-8) less than 5HT less than 10(-7) M) has no effect on the activity of the LF cirri but stimulates the L cilia to beat. Exposure to higher concentrations of 5HT (greater than 10(-7) M) elevates the beat frequency of the L cilia and simultaneously inhibits the activity of the LF cirri, leading to their arrest in a position at the end of the effective stroke. This arrest of the LF cirri occurs as the L cilia attain a 5HT-induced beat frequency between 12 to 14 Hz. The influence of 5HT on the L cilia and the LF cirri can be reversibly mimicked or enhanced by the phosphodiesterase inhibitor 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine (IBMX). A concentration of 0.5 mM IBMX mimics low 5HT concentrations (about 10(-7) M) by stimulating the L cilia to beat without affecting the beat frequency of the LF cirri. A combination of 10(-7) M 5HT and 0.5 mM IBMX in ASW mimics high (greater than 10(-6) M) 5HT concentrations by arresting the LF cirri and increasing the beat frequency of the L cilia. Under these conditions, the threshold of the LF cirri arrest response is again found to occur as the L cilia attain a beat frequency of 12-14 Hz. These results suggest that the mechanisms of LF cirri arrest and L cilia activation are mediated by 5HT-induced changes in intracellular cyclic AMP levels.

Abstract
The effects of a series of 1-(4-aminophenyl)isoquinoline derivatives on the activity of calcium-independent and calcium-dependent phosphodiesterases purified from rat cerebral cortex were examined. Agents were approximately equipotent (IC50 values, 0.2 to 25 microM) in inhibiting the calcium-dependent hydrolysis of either cyclic AMP or cyclic GMP, while they were 6-35 times more effective as inhibitors of cyclic AMP hydrolysis when compared to cyclic GMP hydrolysis using the calcium-independent enzyme. The diastereomers of 3-(carbomethoxy)propenamido demonstrated a marked difference in specificity. The cis-isomer was very potent in inhibiting cyclic AMP or cyclic GMP hydrolysis by either enzyme (IC50 values, 0.2 to 8 microM) while the trans-isomer was only effective in inhibiting calcium-independent cyclic AMP hydrolysis (IC50 values, 2.5 microM). Kinetic analyses of the type of inhibition of the calcium-dependent enzyme revealed that the various agents were competitive inhibitors of cyclic GMP hydrolysis and noncompetitive inhibitors of cyclic AMP hydrolysis. A reverse pattern of inhibition by the isoquinoline derivatives was found using the calcium-independent phosphodiesterase, i.e. noncompetitive inhibition of cyclic GMP while competitive inhibition of cyclic AMP. Inhibition of phosphodiesterases by these agents was also manifest using intact brain slices prepared from rat cerebral cortex. Thus, the agents were found to potentiate forskolin-elicited accumulations of cyclic AMP by 100-700% and increased the half-time for the decline in cyclic AMP following forskolin stimulation from 3 to 6 min.

Abstract
Alkoxy-aryl-lactams (cilostamide, AAL 05, ZK 62 711, Ro 20-1724) inhibit differently cAMP or cGMP phosphodiesterases from blood platelets or vascular smooth muscle. Cilostamide (IC50 0.23 microM) and AAL 05 (IC50 0.15 microM) are 100 times more potent towards platelet cAMP phosphodiesterase whereas ZK 62 711 (IC50 2 microM) and Ro 20-1724 (IC50 33 microM) inhibit more selectively the enzyme from aorta. The substrate specificity of the inhibitors is different in the two tissues: ZK 62 711 and cilostamide are respectively 345 and 290 times more potent as inhibitor of cAMP than cGMP phosphodiesterase from vascular smooth muscle (ZK 62 711) or platelets (cilostamide). M + B 22,948 selectively inhibits cGMP phosphodiesterase with an IC50 of 9 or 24 microM on platelet or aorta enzyme, respectively. In general, the potencies of spasmolytic and platelet inhibitor effects vary from one drug to the other with the potency of inhibition of phosphodiesterase from the corresponding tissue. These data suggest that phosphodiesterases from platelets are different from those of arterial smooth muscle.

Abstract
Two growth-states exist in the G1 phase of the 3T3 T proadipocyte cell cycle. GD is the arrest state at which proadipocytes must growth-arrest prior to differentiation. GS is the arrest state at which proadipocytes growth-arrest following deprivation of serum or growth factors. In an attempt to further distinguish these arrest states, we have compared the relative ability of a variety of mitogens to induce GD- and GS-arrested cells to initiate DNA synthesis. The data show that GD-arrested cells at both high and low densities can be induced to proliferate by methyl-isobutyl-xanthine (MIX), whereas high and low density GS-arrested cells are not. The data also show that a tumor growth factor can stimulate the proliferation of both high and low density GD- and GS-arrested cells, whereas other agents are poor mitogens for high density GD-arrested cells. We conclude that MIX and a tumor growth factor (TUGF) can serve as probes to study the characteristics of the GD arrest state.

Abstract
Cyclic nucleotide derivatives have been used as a tool to investigate the existence of distinctive activating and hydrolytic sites on the phosphodiesterase from rat liver activated by cGMP (guanosine 3',5'-monophosphate). This positively cooperative enzyme was stimulated up to 30-fold by 3 microM cGMP when 3 microM cAMP (adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate) was used as substrate. All analogues were less potent activators than cGMP. Most cAMP derivatives were inactive, with two exceptions: 7-deazaadenosine 3',5'-monophosphate and 3'-amino-3'-deoxy-adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate. Benzimidazole ribonucleoside 3',5'-monophosphate, where the two atoms of nitrogen of the pyrimidine ring are missing was a better stimulator than the intact purine-related cyclic derivative. When cAMP and cGMP with identical chemical ligands substituted at the same position were compared, the cGMP analogue was always the more potent activator suggesting that the activating site is sensitive to a guanine-type cyclic nucleotide structure. Degradation of the derivatives by the enzyme was measured by high-performance liquid chromatography: no relation could be established between hydrolysis and effectiveness of activation. In addition, there was no parallelism between inhibitory and activating potency for ten cyclic nucleotide derivatives. Since the chemical interactions between the analogues at the activating site on the one hand and at the catalytic site on the other, are different, it is proposed that the sites are distinct. Consequently, it is suggested that the enzyme operates in steps. In the first activating step, cGMP is fixed by at least two hydrogen bonds at a specific binding site of the enzyme. This is followed by a conformational change of the protein and subsequently a change of the kinetic parameters. In a rather unspecific process and in a second hydrolytic step, several purine-related cyclic nucleotides are converted to the corresponding 5' nucleotides.
