Cyclic Nucleotide Phosphodiesterase Families as Targets to Treat Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: Beyond PDE5 Inhibitors? [PDF]
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a fatal disease with no cure. Until recently, most specific therapies for PAH had aimed at enhancing cyclic nucleotide (cAMP and cGMP) pathways, taking advantage of the vasorelaxant and antiproliferative ...

Cyclic Nucleotide Phosphodiesterase Type 5 Activity Limits Blood Flow to Hypoperfused Myocardium During Exercise [PDF]
Background—Nitric oxide (NO) causes vasodilation by stimulation of guanylate cyclase in vascular smooth muscle to produce cGMP. The resultant vasodilator effect is regulated by a family of cGMP phosphodiesterases (PDEs). Sildenafil, a selective inhibitor of PDE5 used for treatment of erectile dysfunction, has been found to cause relaxation of isolated ...

Identification and Localization of the Cyclic Nucleotide Phosphodiesterase 10A in Bovine Testis and Mature Spermatozoa. [PDF]
In mammals, adenosine 3', 5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) is known to play highly important roles in sperm motility and acrosomal exocytosis. It is known to act through protein phosphorylation via PRKA and through the activation of guanine nucleotide ...

Roles of A-Kinase Anchoring Proteins and Phosphodiesterases in the Cardiovascular System
A-kinase anchoring proteins (AKAPs) and cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs) are essential enzymes in the cyclic adenosine 3’-5’ monophosphate (cAMP) signaling cascade.

The role of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases in the regulation of adipocyte lipolysis
This study assessed the effects of selective inhibitors of 3′,5′-cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs) on adipocyte lipolysis. IC224, a selective inhibitor of type 1 phosphodiesterase (PDE1), suppressed lipolysis in murine 3T3-L1 adipocytes (69.6 ±
