Rv2577 of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Is a Virulence Factor With Dual Phosphatase and Phosphodiesterase Functions

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Tuberculosis, a lung disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), is one of the ten leading causes of death worldwide affecting mainly developing countries. Mtb can persist and survive inside infected cells through modulation of host antibacterial

Unraveling phosphodiesterase surfaces. Identification of phosphodiesterase 7 allosteric modulation cavities

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 2013
The last findings of our group by using chemical genetic approaches have shown that PDE7 is an interesting target in neurodegenerative diseases. The following step in this travel to unravel PDE7 is the design of more selective inhibitors. In this sense we have proposed to perform an analysis of PDE7 surface to identify possible allosteric sites ...

Ferroptosis is involved in corpus cavernosum smooth muscle cells impairment in diabetes mellitus‐induced erectile dysfunction

open access: yesAndrology, Volume 11, Issue 2, Page 332-343, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Backgrounds Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common andrological disorder that tends to afflict diabetic patients, among others. Pharmacological therapy of diabetes mellitus‐induced ED (DMED) is ineffective, as it is linked with smooth muscle cell loss in the corpus cavernosum.

Theophylline

open access: yesPharmaceuticals, 2010
Theophylline (3-methyxanthine) has been used to treat airway diseases for over 70 years. It was originally used as a bronchodilator but the relatively high doses required are associated with frequent side effects, so its use declined as inhaled β2 ...

How to handle polypharmacy in heart failure. A clinical consensus statement of the Heart Failure Association of the ESC

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Linking guideline‐directed medical therapy (GDMT) implementation and appropriate polypharmacy management in heart failure (HF). Polypharmacy can represent a barrier to the proper implementation of life‐prolonging GDMT for HF. A reasonable balance between the optimization of GDMT and avoiding inappropriate polypharmacy is mandatory in the contemporary ...

The efficacy of PDE5 inhibitors in diabetic patients

open access: yesAndrology, Volume 11, Issue 2, Page 245-256, February 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors (PDE5i), since their introduction in the late 1990s, have proven their efficacy in treating several conditions, predominantly pulmonary hypertension and erectile dysfunction where they remain the first‐line therapeutic option.

Biological and Biochemical Roles of Two Distinct Cyclic Dimeric Adenosine 3′,5′-Monophosphate- Associated Phosphodiesterases in Streptococcus mutans

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Cyclic dimeric adenosine 3′,5′-monophosphate (c-di-AMP), a recently identified secondary messenger in bacteria, plays a role in several bacterial processes, including biofilm formation. It is enzymatically produced by diadenylate cyclase and cleaved by c-

Development of a Zebrafish Embryo‐Based Test System for Thyroid Hormone System Disruption: 3Rs in Ecotoxicological Research

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology and Chemistry, EarlyView.
Abstract There is increasing concern regarding pollutants disrupting the vertebrate thyroid hormone (TH) system, which is crucial for development. Thus, identification of TH system–disrupting chemicals (THSDCs) is an important requirement in the Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development (OECD) testing framework.

Sub-nanomolar sensitivity of nitric oxide mediated regulation of cGMP and vasomotor reactivity in vascular smooth muscle

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2012
Nitric oxide (NO) is a potent dilator of vascular smooth muscle (VSM) by modulating intracellular cGMP ([cGMP]i) through the binding and activation of receptor guanylyl cylases (sGC).
