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 4 regulates pyroptosis in subarachnoid hemorrhage
Phosphodiesterase 4 is a key enzyme involved in the regulation of cell signal transduction, but its role in subarachnoid hemorrhage remains unclear. Neuronal pyroptosis has been reported to be involved in early brain injury after subarachnoid hemorrhage.

Photosensitive neurons in mollusks [PDF]
In addition to regular photoreceptors, some invertebrates possess simple extra ocular photoreceptors. For example, the central ganglia of mollusks contain photosensitive neurons.

Repurposing phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors as chemoadjuvants [PDF]
Phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitors have shown a beneficial effect in a variety of clinical conditions, such as benign prostate hyperplasia, pulmonary arterial hypertension, female sexual arousal disorder, overactive bladder, and incontinence, Raynaud's disease, heart failure and stroke among others (Sandner et al., 2007).

Surface Binding Energy Landscapes Affect Phosphodiesterase Isoform-Specific Inhibitor Selectivity
As human phosphodiesterase (PDE) proteins are attractive drug targets, a large number of selective PDE inhibitors have been developed. However, since the catalytic sites of PDE isoforms are conserved in sequence and structure, it remains unclear how ...

Characterization of Forskolin-Induced Ca2+ Signals in Rat Olfactory Receptor Neurons
Forskolin-induced Ca2+ signals were examined in isolated rat olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) using a Ca2+ indicator, fura-2. In the soma of the ORNs, forskolin caused an increase in the intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) that was enhanced by a ...
