Comment: CBS-3595 is a dual inhibitor of p38α MAPK (MAPK14) and phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE-4) [1], a mechanism that represents a novel approach that may be useful for the treatment of pulmonary diseases (e.g. asthma and COPD) as well as other inflammatory diseases, for which there still exists a high level of unmet clinical need. The term Cytokine-Suppressive Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (CSAIDs) has been coined to describe compounds exploiting molecular mechanisms such as that targeted by CBS-3595.
![]() Ligand Activity Visualisation ChartsThese are box plot that provide a unique visualisation, summarising all the activity data for a ligand taken from ChEMBL and GtoPdb across multiple targets and species. Click on a plot to see the median, interquartile range, low and high data points. A value of zero indicates that no data are available. A separate chart is created for each target, and where possible the algorithm tries to merge ChEMBL and GtoPdb targets by matching them on name and UniProt accession, for each available species. However, please note that inconsistency in naming of targets may lead to data for the same target being reported across multiple charts. ✖ |

Summary of Clinical Use ![]() |
Dose-limiting adverse events associated with inhibition of PDE-4 (nausea, vomiting and malaise, 1−2 h postdose) experienced by four first-in-human test subjects led to discontinuation of the clinical study of CBS-3595. This was determined to be due to high levels of active metabolite CBS-3728 (PubChem CID 11012474) in humans (less of this metabolite was measured in preclinical monkey studies) and this metabolite appeared to be selective for the PDE4D3 isoform, which is considered to be responsible for the nausea/vomiting side effects of PDE4 inhibitors. Therefore, isoform selectivity is an essential consideration for the development of future clinical candidates. |
