PHARMACOLOGY OF PHOSPHODIESTERASE‐5 INHIBITORS

open access: yesInternational Journal of Clinical Practice, 2002
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

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research
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]

open access: yesArchives of Biological Sciences, 2005
In addition to regular photoreceptors, some invertebrates possess simple extra ocular photoreceptors. For ex­ample, the central ganglia of mollusks contain photosensitive neurons.

Sildenafil preserves diastolic relaxation after reduction by L-NAME and increases phosphodiesterase-5 in the intercalated discs of cardiac myocytes and arterioles

open access: yesClinics, 2011
OBJECTIVES: We investigated the influence of sildenafil on cardiac contractility and diastolic relaxation and examined the distribution of phosphodiesterase-5 in the hearts of hypertensive rats that were treated with by NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester ...

Repurposing phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors as chemoadjuvants [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2013
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).

The selective phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitor roflumilast and phosphodiesterase 3/4 inhibitor pumafentrine reduce clinical score and TNF expression in experimental colitis in mice.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
ObjectiveThe 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.

Surface Binding Energy Landscapes Affect Phosphodiesterase Isoform-Specific Inhibitor Selectivity

open access: yesComputational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2019
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

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2005
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 ...
