Phosphodiesterase was found in homogenates of the liver fluke,Fasciola hepatica, and was distributed between a supernatant and particulate fraction after centrifugation at 2000g. Mg2+was necessary for enzyme activity; Ca2+in the presence of Mg2+did not affect enzyme activity. Enzyme kinetics followed the Michaelis-Menten model with aKmof 8 μM for cAMP and 300 μM for cGMP as the substrate. The most potent inhibitor tested was 1-ethyl-4-(isopropylidenehydrazino)-1H-pyrazolo- (3,4-b)-pyridine-5-carboxylic acid, ethyl ester, HC1 (SQ 20009) which had aKiof 26 μM. TheKifor isobutyl methyl xanthine (IBMX) was 45 μM; for 6,7 dimethyl-4 ethylquinazoline (Quazodine) 75 μM; papaverine. 100 μM; theophylline, 550 μM; and for caffeine orD-lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), 800 μM. The effects on fluke motility of these phosphodiesterase inhibitors were tested. All phosphodiesterase inhibitors except caffeine stimulated the rhythmical movement of the flukes. None of the inhibitors tested significantly increased the endogenous cAMP concentrations of fluke heads. IBMX potentiated the rise in endogenous cAMP caused by 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) but SQ 20009, LSD, and papaverine prevented it. The latter results could not be explained on the basis of phosphodies-terase inhibition, but might be attributed to interference with the stimulation of adenylate cyclase by 5-HT.
