Cilostamide (OPC 3689) is a specific PDE3 (phosphodiesterase 3) inhibitor. The compound may act to block DNA binding of p-Stat3, increase cAMP levels and block the effects of insulin and IGF-1 on meiosis. Additionally, Cilostamide activates K(ATP) channels and produces hyperpolarization in rat mesenteric artery studies. In F/B cells Cliostamide has been reported to inhibit the IGF-1 induced phosphorylation of the apoptotic protein, Bad. Cilostamide (OPC 3689) is a inhibitor of PDE3A and PDE3B.
