8-(4-Chlorophenyl)thio-cyclic AMP (8-CPT-cAMP), extensively used as selective activator of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase, has been found to be a potent inhibitor of the cyclic GMP-specific phosphodiesterase (PDE VA). Indeed, 8-CPT-cAMP (IC50 = 0.9 microM) inhibited PDE VA with a potency identical to that of zaprinast. 8-CPT-cAMP was also metabolized by PDE VA at a rate half that of cyclic GMP. The cyclic GMP-inhibited phosphodiesterase (PDE III) (IC50 = 24 microM) and the cyclic AMP-specific phosphodiesterase (PDE IV) (IC50 = 25 microM) were also inhibited by 8-CPT-cAMP. In contrast, most of the other cAMP-derivative studies showed little inhibition of any phosphodiesterase isoenzyme. These observations provide further reasons why the mechanism of the physiological effects of 8-CPT-cAMP should be interpreted with caution.
