Abstract
Neurodegenerative illness develops as a result of genetic defects that cause changes at numerous levels, including genomic products and biological processes. It entails the degradation of cyclic nucleotides, cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP), and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). PDE7 modulates intracellular cAMP signalling, which is involved in numerous essential physiological and pathological processes. For the therapy of neurodegenerative illnesses, the normalization of cyclic nucleotide signalling through PDE inhibition remains intriguing. In this article, we shall examine the role of PDEs in neurodegenerative diseases. Alzheimer’s disease, Multiple sclerosis, Huntington’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Stroke, and Epilepsy are related to alterations in PDE7 expression in the brain. Earlier, animal models of neurological illnesses including Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and multiple sclerosis have had significant results to PDE7 inhibitors, i.e., VP3.15; VP1.14. In addition, modulation of CAMP/CREB/GSK/PKA signalling pathways involving PDE7 in neurodegenerative diseases has been addressed. To understand the etiology, treatment options of these disorders mediated by PDE7 and its subtypes can be the focus of future research.

Introduction
Phosphodiesterases (PDEs) are enzymes that regulate cAMP and cGMP levels in the body. Because both cAMP and cGMP are critical in the brain during neurodevelopment, as well as in developing synaptic plasticity and, ultimately, learning and memory, inhibiting PDEs have become a well-studied target for therapy in a wide range of illnesses, including NDDs (Mendiola-Precoma et al. 2016; Sharma et al. 2021a, b). To hydrolyze cAMP, phosphodiesterases (PDEs) show a vital role in neuroinflammation, which is controlled by cAMP levels. PDE superfamily contains 11 subtypes that are encoded by 21 known genes. furthermore, each gene product can have many splice variants (for example, PDE4D1–PDE4D9), resulting in over 100 different PDE proteins (Bollen and Prickaerts 2012). Neurodegenerative diseases, on the other hand, are defined by the progressive loss of particularly sensitive groups of neurons, as opposed to select static neuronal loss induced by metabolic or toxic illnesses. The major NDDs are Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD), multiple sclerosis (MS), Stroke, Epilepsy, and Huntington’s disease (Thapa et al. 2021). Memory loss is followed by the formation of beta-amyloid plaques, hyperphosphorylation of tau protein, and inflammation in Alzheimer’s patients (Mendiola-Precoma et al. 2016; Khan et al. 2022a). PDE7, a cAMP-selective enzyme, is found in the brain and has been investigated as a potential target for treating Alzheimer’s disease, particularly when combined with GSK3 activity. Both cAMP and cGMP have been linked to Alzheimer’s disease. Increasing evidence suggests that up-regulation of the cAMP is implicated in AD and its blockage lowered intellectual impairment and clinical markers (Ribaudo et al. 2020). Dopaminergic neuron loss in the substantia nigra compacta (SNpc) is a hallmark of Parkinson’s disease (Kinoshita et al. 2015). PDE7 inhibitors elevated the number of neural stem cells by enhancing embryonic neural stem cell differentiation into matured dopamine neurons and hastened the differentiation and proliferation of mature progenitor cells in adult rats by raising the levels of pCREB. PDE7 possibly be a promising therapeutic target for PD; blocking PDE7 may have beneficial effects on the disease (Mercier et al. 2017). Multiple pathways, including oxidative stress, excitotoxicity, blood–brain barrier permeability, neuroinflammation, and others, are altered, which explains a portion of the brain’s post-ischemic neurodegeneration (McGeer and McGeer 2007; Khan et al. 2021a; b). Neuroinflammation can be controlled by blocking cAMP-specific phosphodiesterases (PDEs), such as PDE 4, 7, and 8, which raise cAMP levels and, as a result, enhance functional recovery.
Preclinical discoveries, clinical consequences, and upcoming views of cAMP-specific PDE7 inhibition as a new research topic for the treatment of neurodegenerative disease have been shown in recent publications (Ponsaerts et al. 2021). cAMP participates in the transmission of signaling pathways involved in neuroprotection and immune regulation. By modulating the quantities of this nucleotide, inhibition of cAMP-specific PDEs such as PDE7 may modify the pathogenic processes of neuroinflammatory diseases, such as multiple sclerosis (MS) (Mestre et al. 2015; Rehni et al. 2010). PDE7 mRNA and protein are found in many immune cells, and evidence shows that PDE7 may play a role in T-lymphocyte activation, although further research is needed. Consequently, in HD animals, strategies aimed at increasing CREB transcription—and, as a result, the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)—have neuroprotective effects (Fusco and Giampa 2015; Gharami et al. 2008). A CREB activation is mediated by a cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), as a result, in the control of neuronal activities, the balance of intracellular cAMP/cGMP levels is critical (Xie et al. 2010; Khan et al. 2022a). As a result, PDEs and inhibitors of PDEs might be useful in the treatment of HD. PDEs are enzymes that catabolize cAMP and/or cGMP in the cell. As a result, inhibiting them may be advantageous in the treatment of CNS neuronal degeneration (Giampà et al. 2013.
Methodology
A systematic literature review of Bentham, Scopus, PubMed, Medline, and EMBASE (Elsevier) Databases was created with the use of keywords, such as Phosphodiesterases; Neurodegenerative disease; PDE 7; cyclic adenosine monophosphate; cGMP. To comprehend the review, the keywords listed above were used in the role of phosphodiesterase-7 in neurodegenerative disorder.
Structure of PDE 7
PDE7 contains two genes that have been discovered in the brain. There are three or four splice variations in PDE7A and PDE7B. PDE7 is a PDE family member that has been discovered as CAMP specialized and was previously known for its role in regulating T-cell activity (Bloom and Beavo 1996. The significance of PDE7 in neurotransmission activity profile in the brain, as well as the drugability of other Phosphodiesterases has encouraged the quest for strong antagonists to cure neurodegenerative disorders (Fig. 1). The PDE7 gene is located on human chromosome 8q13-q22 and is not linked to any known disease factors (Gene Mapping). PDE7A is found in high concentrations in the lungs and hematopoietic cells, while PDE7B activity in the CNS is higher than in other tissues. PDE7B is abundant in the caudate nucleus, the nucleus accumbens, the cortex, and the hippocampus. PDE7B has been found in the pancreas, heart, thyroid, and skeletal muscles (Hetman et al. 2000). PDE7A and PDE7B mRNA are also found in osteoblasts and certain brain regions, such as various cortical regions, the dentate gyrus, most olfactory system elements, the striatum, numerous thalamic nuclei, and hippocampal pyramidal cells. A dual PDE7/PDE4 inhibitor was used to investigate the possible involvement of PDE7 in human T-cell activity (Gil et al. 2008). The development of selective PDE7 inhibitors with attractive ADME qualities for in vivo research would widen the reach of a unique class of medicines with an innovative mode of action that keeps intracellular cAMP levels high. PDE7 was discovered both in neuronal and non-neuronal cell populations. PDE7 regulates inflammatory responses via the cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signalling pathway, and so plays a key role in Alzheimer’s disease.
Expression and localization of PDE’s isoforms
Therapeutic potential of PDE7 inhibitors in several neurodegenerative disorders through multiple downstream signalling pathways
PDE7 and Alzheimer’s disease
Alzheimer’s disease (AD), is marked by gradual memory loss, it is the most prevalent form of senile dementia, and neuronal destruction, as well as cognitive impairment (Sharma et al. 2021a). Neuropathological hallmarks of AD include extracellular amyloid-ß deposition (ß plague), neurofibrillary tan-gel formation (NTFS), and neuroinflammation (Pozueta et al. 2013). Compound 14, a selective PDE7 inhibitor that is orally soluble (5,8-disubstituted pirquinozol) was found to significantly enhance memory in both healthy mice and rats following oral dosage in a variety of behavioral activities (McQuown et al. 2021). The findings show that PDE7 may play a crucial role in the etiology of AD. Recent research has shown that inhibiting PDE7 improves in vitro and in vivo AD-related alterations. At a dose of 3 mg/kg, i.p., VP1.15 (dual inhibitor of PDE7/GSK3), a 5-imino-1,2-4-thiazoles and quinazolines derivatives, was reported to improve episodic, working, and showed fear memory in healthy mice (Lipina et al. 2013). S14 (5 mg/kg, i.p.) is a more effective selective PDE7 inhibitor that improves learning and memory impairment in Aß-amyloid precursor protein/presenilin APP/PS1 twin transgenic mice, a model of Alzheimer’s disease with age-related memory loss. S14 decreased Aß accumulation, Tau protein hyperphosphorylation, and mitochondrial malfunction in SH-SY5Y cells treated in vitro to AB1-42 via elevating CAMP/CREB signalling and lowering GSK3 activity (Perez-Gonzalez et al. 2013). Similarly, PDE7 inhibitors contribute to the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease by controlling early stage mitochondrial dysfunction observed in the condition. Mitochondrial failure contributes to the development of AD by causing the destruction and mutation of mitochondrial DNA, abnormalities in calcium homeostasis, oxidative stress, and synapsis loss and malfunction (Sheng et al. 2012). To ameliorate mitochondrial damage, dosing with the PDE7 inhibitor (S14) increased total mitochondrial mass and the ratio of mitochondrial fission/fusion proteins in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus of APP/PS1 mice while blocking autophagy. According to the study, S14 (10 mg/kg, p.o.) induces neurogenesis in the subventricular zone (SVZ) and subgranular zone (SGZ), hence improving the cognitive function of rats (Fig. 2). In a similar fashion, S14 overexpression of pCREB enhances the multiplication of chief cultured rat SGZ and SVZ neurons, as well as SGZ and olfactory bulb neurogenesis (Morales-Garcia et al. 2017). Anti-inflammatory also anti-excitotoxic mechanisms are involved in the anti-AD actions of PDE7 inhibitors (Blokland et al. 2012). The dual PDE7/GSK3 inhibitor [VP1.14 (14 (5-imino-1, 2, 4-thiadiazole)] decreases inflammation and pyramidal cell loss in the CA1 and CA3 subregions of the hippocampus produced by unilateral hippocampal kainic acid injection (Susín et al. 2012). In glial cells on exposure to lipopolysaccharide (LPS), this PDE7 inhibitor reduces nitrite release and pro-inflammatory cytokines, as well as glutamate-induced excitotoxicity in hippocampal HT22 cells (Susín et al. 2012). Further study suggested that enough data are required regarding current pharmacological, non-pharmacological interventions and other relevant treatments related to AD.
PDE7 and Parkinson disease
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurological ailment generated by around 1% of the elderly population is affected. At the molecular level, Parkinson’s disease is characterized by the loss of dopamine-containing neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc), although neuropathology can extend to other areas of the brain (Damier et al. 1999). There is no cure and no effective treatment available at this time (Orr et al. 2005; Tansey et al. 2007). Some studies have suggested that cAMP levels may be significant in neuroprotection and the neuroinflammatory response (Volakakis et al. 2010) implying that regulating cAMP levels might cause the pathogenic neuroinflammatory process to be regulated (McGeer et al. 2003) and, as a result, delay the development of NDDs, such as Parkinson’s disease. Intracellular cAMP levels are influenced by adenylyl cyclase production and breakdown by cyclic nucleotide 3, 5 PDEs (Mehats et al. 2002). With improved brain penetration, the chemical is suited for the MPTP (1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine) treated mice model of Parkinson’s disease. Consequently, the researchers investigated the pharmacokinetic properties of compound 7. Compound 7 concentrations in the brain were tolerated after mice were given 10 mg/kg i.p. of the D2 receptor antagonist haloperidol-induced catalepsy (HIC) (Boulay et al. 2010). Compound 7’s PDE7A IC50 and pharmacokinetic properties were determined. Based on these data, the free brain concentration attained after an i.p. injection of 10 mg/kg was 10 times lower than the mouse PDE7A IC50. In contrast, free brain concentrations at doses of 30 and 100 mg/kg were equivalent to as well as many times greater than the mouse PDE7A IC50, accordingly. The effects of compound 7 at varying doses (1, 3, 10, and 30 mg/kg, i.p.) on the rearing behavior of male C57BL/6 mice with MPTP-induced PD were examined. Compound 7 increased rearing behavior in mice treated with MPTP at suboptimal doses (1, 3, and 10 mg/kg, i.p.) but had no impact at the maximum dose (30 mg/kg, i.p.). The conventional situation treatment of l-dopa/benserazide (BSZ) had a considerable outcome on vertical rearing behavior in these mice. However, by interfering with dopamine D1 receptor-mediated cAMP signaling in the striatal direct route, PDE7 inhibitors may nevertheless boost the effectiveness of l-dopa. Multiple cellular and animal models of Parkinson’s disease have been discovered to exhibit increased PDE7 expression. In treating Parkinson’s disease, neurotoxins such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) are frequently employed. LPS is an endotoxin produced by bacteria that induce neuroinflammation, whereas 6-OHDA, a dopamine analog, can cause rapid and severe dopaminergic cell death in the substantia nigra (SN). After SNpc injection of LPS or 6-OHDA into rats, a rise in PDE7 was detected in dopaminergic neurons and glial cells that had been injured (Morales-Garcia et al. 2020). According to in vitro study, in human neuroblastoma (SH-SY5Y) cells, primary cultures of embryonic ventral mesencephalic (VM) neurons, and glial cells from rats treated with 6-OHDA or LPS, PDE7 expression is enhanced (Morales-Garcia et al. 2020). The overexpression of PDE7 inhibitor seems to be directly persuaded, because expression of a 962 bp in SH-SY5Y cells treated with PDE7, a portion of the Homo sapiens promoter is enhanced with 6-OHDA and glial cells treated with LPS after transfection with a construct containing a 962-bp fragment of the promoter (Morales-Garcia et al. 2020). PDE7 has been demonstrated to be activated in striatal neurons via the cAMP/PKA/CREB pathway and to be related to memory function, suggesting that it might be a potential treatment target for epilepsy, and Huntington’s disease (Peng et al. 2018).
PDE7 and stroke
An ischemic syndrome is characterized by thromboembolic obstruction of a major cerebral artery, which leads to neuroinflammation and neuronal damage as a result of decreased blood supply (Khan et al. 2022b). During the acute phase of an ischemic stroke, Neutrophils, monocytes/macrophages, and T cells are part of the innate and adaptive immune systems, B cells, respectively) contributed to the neuroinflammatory process (Khan et al. 2020; Ponsaerts et al. 2021). T cell proliferation and generation of pro-inflammatory TNF- were unaffected by treatment with the PDE7 inhibitor BRL150481 by LPS-stimulated macrophages. According to these data, PDE7 inhibition by BRL50481 has minimal anti-inflammatory effects. Concurrently, treatment with BRL50481 and rolipram, a pan-PDE4 inhibitor, resulted in significant anti-inflammatory effects (Fig. 2). This opens the prospect of using a combination of PDE4 and PDE7 inhibition to treat neuroinflammation (Smith et al. 2004). T cells have been shown that exhibit a high level of the PDE7 gene family (Xu et al. 2016). Greater levels of PDE7 in T cells have been associated with reducing cAMP and increasing IL-2 expression. According to another study, inhibiting PDE7 decreases T cell proliferation and IL-2 expression (Li et al. 1999). These findings are supported by studies employing the PDE7 inhibitor BC12, which decreased IL-2 expression and T cell proliferation (Xu et al. 2016). PDE7 inhibition promoted neural stem cell differentiation and proliferation in neural stem niches of the rat brain, notably the SGZ of the dentate gyrus and the SVZ, as per a study. PDE7 inhibition was also shown to boost neuronal cell formation in the olfactory bulb and dentate gyrus, leading to better memory and learning in rats (Morales-Garcia et al. 2014). PDE7 inhibition has been known to drastically lower nitrite formation in LPS-stimulated primary astrocytes, microglia, and neurons (Khan et al. 2022c). In addition, PDE7 inhibitors dramatically decreased infarct sizes in mice 48 h after persistent MCAO formation, as well as improved neurological outcomes. These findings supported the idea that inhibiting PDE7 improves the outcome of ischemic stroke (Redondo et al. 2012). According to research, Quinazoline type phosphodiesterase 7 (PDE7) inhibitors based on microwave irradiation have been developed. This approach enhanced yields and reaction times while also allowing for an ascendable technique. These chemicals are pharmacologically intriguing due to their in vivo effectiveness in spinal cord injury and PD models, as demonstrated in prior research from our lab. A study has been showing for the first time that treatment of 3-phenyl-2,4-dithioxo-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinazoline (compound 5) alleviated brain injury and improved behavioral outcomes in a permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (pMCAO) stroke animal (Ponsaerts et al. 2021). Researchers further show that PDE7 inhibitors are effective anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective drugs in primary brain cell cultures. As a result of these findings, studies suggest PDE7 inhibitors as a new class of neuroprotective medicinal medicines.
PDE7 and multiple sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a central nervous system (CNS) inflammatory disease characterized by demyelination and axonal damage, which disrupts normal neurotransmission (Zarei et al. 2015) and causes sensory and motor deficits (Lipina et al. 2013). Using 5-imino-1,2,4-thiadiazoles, PDE7 and GSK-3 inhibitors decreased signs of demyelination in the experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) animal model (as previously described) and improved remyelination in 2 additional demyelinating mice models with low adaptive immune system input (using lysophosphatidylcholine–LPC or cuprizone) (Jankowska et al. 2017). Furthermore, the findings suggested that both PDE7–GSK3 inhibitors, particularly VP3.15, which has a high oral bioavailability and CNS dispersion, might be used as possible anti-inflammation and pro-remyelinating treatments for MS (Medina-Rodríguez et al. 2017). TC3.6 is a small heterocyclic synthetic compound that can control cAMP levels and exhibits the predicted physiological behavior. Research has revealed that the TMEV–IDD model of chronic progressive MS, in which there is a dormancy period after viral injection is before symptoms and motor impairments occur. In the research, TC3.6 given for 12 days (10 mg/kg, i.p.) during the pre-symptomatic period (30 day post-infection) substantially delayed the start of TMEV–IDD was extended to 60 days instead of 45 days in TMEV–vehicle mice (Mestre et al. 2015). Furthermore, it was discovered that the TC3.6 treated mice had improved motor function at 50, 60, and 70 days after infection. At day 60 post-infection, TC3.6 (5 mg/kg) therapy of TMEV-infected mice for 14 days reduced the progression of the clinical score. The administrated of TC3.6 greatly enhanced the performance of spontaneous motor activity around day 75 post-infection, according to the results of the study (McCarthy et al. 2012). Several disease-modified medicines for the treatment of MS are currently being developed, and more are likely to be introduced. It is critical to establish a population-based prevalence of MS in the country, as well as to conduct patient awareness programs and medical training, particularly for internists, to enhance care for MS patients.
PDE7 and epilepsy
Worldwide, 50 million individuals suffer from epilepsy, including an estimated 2–3 million in the United States (Guilbert 2006). A seizure is an uncontrollable shift in behavior that is characterized by abnormalities in sensory feelings or motor activity (movement) as a result of abnormal brain cell firing. Epilepsy is a disorder characterized by repeated seizures, which may include convulsions (tedious twitches of the muscles) (Galanopoulou et al. 2012). In the MES (maximal electroshock seizure) model of epilepsy, SQ22536 in combination with exogenously delivered BRL50481 (1.4 mg/kg, i.p.) and SQ22536 in combination with dipyridamole (1.4 mg/kg, i.p.) resulted in a considerable delay in the commencement of the tonic extensor phase of convulsion. Compared to the DMSO-treated group, the overall convulsion length was significantly longer in the SQ22536 alone-treated and SQ22536 and BRL50481 combination-treated groups. The adenylate cyclase (AC) inhibitor SQ22536 was reported to delay the start of seizures and extend the entire duration of convulsive time in both the PTZ and MES models. In both epilepsy models, SQ22536 significantly increased anticonvulsant activity as well as the percentage of animals protected (Nandhakumar and Tyagi 2010. According to studies, PDE7 is connected to seizures at the molecular level for the following reasons: (a) PDE7B is linked to 6q23-24, one of the most important seizure loci (Torri et al. 2010); (b) PDE7 is widely expressed, particularly in the striatum, cerebellum and cerebral cortex, which are regarded as the brain regions most closely linked to seizures (P’erez-Torres et al. 2003); (c) Based on pharmaco-transcriptomic, pharmacogenomics, and case–control association methods, PDE7B is a promising candidate gene for epilepsy susceptibility (Ikeda et al. 2010; Torri et al. 2010); (d PDE7 inhibiting by VP1.15 (3 mg/kg, i.p.) enhances pre-pulse inhibition (PPI), alters amphetamine-induced PPI deficit, substantially enhanced disturbed latent inhibition (LI) persuaded by the rising prevalence of conditioning trials, noting that it has antipsychotic effects (Lipina et al. 2013). Improved understanding of the processes behind illness development, improved trial designs, medication repurposing tactics, and new cooperation models may all aid in the discovery of viable treatments.
PDE7 and Huntington diseases
Huntington’s disease (HD) is a rare autosomal leading neurological illness that causes physical impairment, cognitive decline, and mental symptoms. Chorea, an involuntary muscle contraction caused by dysfunction of the basal ganglia, which is the major target of HD, is the most common motor symptom (Dayalu and Albin 2015). End-stage HD-like neuropathology and decrease of mitochondrial respiratory chain activity in mice treated with mitochondrial poisons. The brains of HD patients have revealed that energy deficiencies may have an impact on the disease’s progression (Golpich et al. 2017). However, research using HD transgenic systems has found that genes controlled by the cyclic adenosine 3′,5′-monophosphate (cAMP) response element (CRE) binding protein had lower transcription (CREB). BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) and a host of other genes are among them, with roles ranging from neurotransmission to cholesterol metabolism. Reduced gene transcription has been attributed to sequestration of coactivators that bind Huntington amino terminus, such as CREB binding protein (CBP) or TAFI1130, into inclusions formed by mutant amino-terminal product. CBP, on the other hand, is found in insertions in two polyglutamine neurodegenerative illnesses, DRPLA and SBMA, suggesting that confiscation is a side effect of the disease (Fusco and Paldino 2017). Furthermore, CBP sequestration does not appear to be the cause of the significant decrease in BDNF transcription seen in immortalized STHdhQ111 striatal cells, which properly expressed both normal and mutant huntingtin and do not have amino-terminal product inclusions (Gines et al. 2003). Currently, few high-quality clinical trials are being undertaken, but this is improving because of the creation of networks, such as the Huntington’s Disease Network, which works directly with industry partners to guarantee that all new trial protocols are of high quality and relevant to HD.
Conclusions
Numerous preclinical studies indicate that PDE7 is engaged in a large number of diseases, including Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, and other NDDs disorders, and that PDE7 inhibitors have given way to a new class of drugs for treating these NDDs diseases by regulating signalling pathways differently (Soni 2019). Currently, there are no ongoing clinical trial initiatives, focused on neurodegenerative disease, however, future potential for developing targeted therapeutics for progressive types of NDDs includes lowering disability. Several challenges must be solved in addition to evaluating PDE7 inhibitors in clinical trials to simplify the discovery and the most promising PDE isoforms have been validated for combating cerebral impairment. The specific location of distinct PDEs in the brain, as well as a better knowledge of the localization of PDEs in different sections of the neuron, must be determined. Cyclic nucleotides are key intracellular signalling components and neuroplasticity in the brain. As a result, damaged signalling is likely to cause significant alterations in cell function, potentially leading to pathological results. Indeed, abnormal cyclic nucleotide signalling linked to PDE expression is linked to a variety of neurodegenerative disorders. Normalizing cyclic nucleotide levels might thus be used as a symptomatic treatment for neurodegenerative diseases. This helps to explain why PDE7 inhibitors are such a popular pharmacological drug target right now. However, further study is desired to have an improved comprehension of the connection between PDE7 function and neuropathology.
