Psoriasis is a common, chronic inflammatory disease characterized by abnormal skin plaques, and the effectiveness of phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitor to lessen the symptoms of psoriasis has been proved. Aiming to find a novel PDE4 inhibitor acting as an effective, safe, and convenient therapeutic agent, we constructed a library consisting of berberine analogues, and compound 2 with a tetrahydroisoquinoline scaffold was identified as a novel and potent hit ...
