The effect of phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors on cerebral blood flow in humans: A systematic review. [PDF]
Agents that augment cerebral blood flow (CBF) could be potential treatments for vascular cognitive impairment. Phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors are vasodilating drugs established in the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) and pulmonary hypertension.

PHARMACOLOGY OF PHOSPHODIESTERASE‐5 INHIBITORS
SUMMARYThe clinical properties (efficacy and safety profile) of a medicine are related not only to its mode of action, but also to its selectivity for its target (usually a receptor or enzyme) and are also influenced by its pharmacokinetic properties (absorption, distribution, metabolism and elimination).

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

The selective phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitor roflumilast and phosphodiesterase 3/4 inhibitor pumafentrine reduce clinical score and TNF expression in experimental colitis in mice. [PDF]
The specific inhibition of phosphodiesterase (PDE)4 and dual inhibition of PDE3 and PDE4 has been shown to decrease inflammation by suppression of pro-inflammatory cytokine synthesis.

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.

Selective inhibition of phosphodiesterases 4, 5 and 9 induces HSP20 phosphorylation and attenuates amyloid beta 1-42 mediated cytotoxicity [PDF]
Phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors are currently under evaluation as agents that may facilitate the improvement of cognitive impairment associated with Alzheimer's disease. Our aim was to determine whether inhibitors of PDEs 4,5 and 9 could alleviate the

Compartmentalized PDE4A5 signaling impairs hippocampal synaptic plasticity and long-term memory [PDF]
Alterations in cAMP signaling are thought to contribute to neurocognitive and neuropsychiatric disorders. Members of the cAMP-specific phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) family, which contains >25 different isoforms, play a key role in determining spatial ...

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 ...
