The mode of action by which the orphan drug anagrelide ( 1 ), a potent cAMP phosphodiesterase 3A inhibitor, reduces blood platelet count in humans is not well understood. Recent studies indicate that 1 stabilizes a complex between PDE3A and Schlafen 12, protecting it from degradation while activating its RNase activity.
