BC-11-38 is a potent and selective phosphodiesterase (PDE) 11 inhibitor (IC50s = 0.28 µM and >100 µM for PDE11 and PDE1-10, respectively).1 Gene association studies suggested that PDE11 was involved in adrenal function, and in H295R human adrenocortical cells, BC-11-38 increased cAMP and cortisol levels and activating transcription factor 1 (ATF-1) phosphorylation.2,3,1
