Identification and Characterization of PDE8 Inhibitors Using a Fission Yeast Based High-throughput Screening Platform

Thesis advisor: Charles S. Hoffman === In this thesis, I describe the development of a screening platform for detecting PDE8A inhibitors using the cAMP-dependent glucose sensing pathway of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, which led us to discover several PDE8A selective inhibitors. In th...
