Carbazeran is an inhibitor of phosphodiesterase 2 (PDE2) and PDE3.1 It inhibits cAMP hydrolysis (IC50 = 4.1 µM in rabbit heart ventricles) selectively over cGMP hydrolysis (IC50 = 171 µM).2 It induces positive inotropic (EC50 = 100 µM) and negative chronotropic effects in isolated rabbit papillary muscle and right atria, respectively. Carbazeran is also a substrate for the enzyme aldehyde oxidase (AOX1), which is involved in the metabolism of xenobiotics.3,4
