PDE5 Inhibitors in Non-Urological Conditions [PDF]
Phosphodiesterase type-5 (PDE5) inhibitors are widely used as first-line therapy for erectile dysfunction (ED). Their efficacy and safety combined with an increasing understanding of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-regulated mechanisms, have triggered a number of attempts to determine their effects and potential benefits in non-urological ...

PDE5 Inhibitors As Potential Tools In The Treatment Of Cystic Fibrosis [PDF]
Despite great advances in the understanding of the genetics and pathophysiology of cystic fibrosis (CF), there is still no cure for the disease. Using phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors, we and others have provided evidence of rescued F508del ...

Investigation of PDE5/PDE6 and PDE5/PDE11 selective potent tadalafil-like PDE5 inhibitors using combination of molecular modeling approaches, molecular fingerprint-based virtual screening protocols and structure-based pharmacophore development [PDF]
The essential biological function of phosphodiesterase (PDE) type enzymes is to regulate the cytoplasmic levels of intracellular second messengers, 3′,5′-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) and/or 3′,5′-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP).

The impact of PDE5 inhibitors on cardiovascular outcomes. [PDF]
Erectile dysfunction and cardiovascular disease share common underlying mechanisms, with the former being an early marker of cardiovascular risk. Phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors, widely used as first-line therapy for erectile dysfunction, also exhibit systemic vasodilatory properties with potential cardiovascular implications.

Analysis of Phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) Inhibitors in Modulating Inflammatory Markers in Humans: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. [PDF]
Phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors, including sildenafil, tadalafil, and vardenafil, are primarily prescribed for erectile dysfunction and pulmonary hypertension. Emerging evidence suggests they may also modulate inflammatory pathways and improve
