PDE4A and Airway obstruction: Highly selective inhibitors of the members of the cAMP-selective cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases, or PDE4 family, have shown clinically meaningful activity in two different classes of lung disease: roflumilast in obstructive lung disease, specifically chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and nerandomilast in restrictive lung diseases characterized by inflammation/fibrosis of the alveolar interstitium, including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and progressive pulmonary fibrosis (PPF).
