The molecule is a monocarboxylic acid amide resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of 3-(cyclopentyloxy)-4-methoxybenzoic acid with the primary amino group of 3,5-dichloropyridin-4-amine. It has a role as a phosphodiesterase IV inhibitor, an anti-asthmatic drug, a bronchodilator agent and an anti-inflammatory agent. It is a monocarboxylic acid amide, a member of benzamides, a chloropyridine and an aromatic ether.
