Roflumilast (trade names Daxas, Daliresp) is a drug which acts as a selective, long-acting inhibitor of the enzyme PDE-4. It has antiinflammatory effects and is under development as an orally administered drug for the treatment of inflammatory conditions of the lungs such as asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). While roflumilast was found to be effective in clinical trials, it produced several dose-limiting side effects including nausea, diarrhoea and headache, and development is continuing in an attempt to minimise the incidence of side effects while retaining clinical efficacy. In June 2010, Daxas was approved in the EU for severe COPD associated with chronic bronchitis. In March 2011, Daliresp gained FDA approval in the US for reducing COPD exacerbations.
