| Description: | The PDE 7 (phosphodiesterase VII) inhibiting effect of the compounds of the present invention was performed by the following method, which was modified assay method described in Biochemical. Pharmacol. 48(6), 1219-1223 (1994). (1) The active fraction of PDE 7 (phosphodiesterase VII) was obtained. That is, MOLT-4 (obtainable from ATCC as ATCC No. CRL-1582), which was cell line of human acute lymphoblastic lymphoma T cells, was incubated in RPMI1640 culture medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum to obtain 5x108 MOLT-4 cells. The cells were collected by centrifugation and suspended with 10 mL of buffer solution A [25 mM of tris-HCl, 5 mM of 2-mercaptoethnol, 2 mM of benzamidine, 2 mM of EDTA, 0.1 mM of 4-(2-aminoethyl)benzensulfonyl hydrochloride; pH 7.5], then homogenized by Polytron homogenizer. The homogenate were centrifuged under 25,000xG for 10 minutes at 4 C. The supernatant was separated and thus obtained supernatant was further centrifuged under 100,000xG for 60 minutes. |
