Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors and erectile dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction (ED) affects millions of men globally and may adversely affect his, and potentially his partners’, quality of life. The introduction, a decade ago, of the phosphodiesterase type 5- (PDE5-) inhibitors has revolutionised the management

Phosphodiesterase Inhibitors: Present and Future
Phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors act on specific phosphodiesterase enzymes (fundamentally 3, 4 and 5), which are characterized by their expression in different organs.

Cardiac Uses of Phosphodiesterase-5 Inhibitors
Phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors (PDE5Is) improve erectile function by enhancing nitric oxide availability in the penis and its supplying vasculature, resulting in vasodilation and increased blood flow. PDE5Is might benefit cardiovascular diseases because phosphodiesterase-5 is also located elsewhere in the body, including the pulmonary and systemic ...

Phosphodiesterase Type 5 Inhibitors and Visual Side Effects: A Narrative Review
Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors such as sildenafil citrate and tadalafil are well known for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. However, their use in the presence of pulmonary hypertension can cause ophthalmologic side effects, including non ...

The wonders of phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors: A majestic history
The Nobel Prize winning discovery of nitric oxide (NO) in 1986 was the starting point for a new innovation in drug discovery. NO acting as a mediator at different physiological systems is believed to be involved in many physiological and pathological conditions through the formation of the second messenger cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP).

Phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors for pulmonary hypertension [PDF]
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) comprises a group of complex and heterogenous conditions, characterised by elevated pulmonary artery pressure, and which left untreated leads to right-heart failure and death. PH includes World Health Organisation (WHO) Group 1 pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH); Group 2 consists of PH due to left-heart disease (PH-LHD ...

cAMP-Signalling Regulates Gametocyte-Infected Erythrocyte Deformability Required for Malaria Parasite Transmission. [PDF]
Blocking Plasmodium falciparum transmission to mosquitoes has been designated a strategic objective in the global agenda of malaria elimination. Transmission is ensured by gametocyte-infected erythrocytes (GIE) that sequester in the bone marrow and at ...
