Ibudilast

Description

Overview of Ibudilast

Ibudilast is a phosphodiesterase inhibitor with pronounced anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties in research preclinical models. Researchers use ibudilast in laboratory studies primarily because of its unique properties that target neuroinflammation and glial cell activity.

How Does Ibudilast Work?

Researchers have found that Ibudilast may work by inhibiting phosphodiesterases (mainly PDE-4 and PDE-10) in preclinical research models. Additionally, researchers believe Ibudilast may also modulate glial cell activity to increase intracellular cAMP. 

This helps reduce the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and suppresses the overactivation of microglia and astrocytes in research preclinical models.  

Research Application of Ibudilast

Ibudilast is studied in controlled laboratory models for the following potential research applications.

• Researchers use Ibudilast to study microglia and astrocyte activation in preclinical research models.
• Investigating glia-driven nociceptive modulation in experimental models.
