Rolipram is a racetam and a selective phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor which particularly targets the PDE4B subtype of phosphodiesterase 4. Like most PDE4-inhibitors it is an anti-inflammatory drug. Rolipram has been studied as a possible antidepressant. Rolipram also has anti-inflammatory immunosuppressive and anti-tumor effects. Rolipram has also been proposed as a treatment for multiple sclerosis. Recent studies show that rolipram may have antipsychotic effects.
