Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs as potential ecto-nucleotide phosphodiesterase inhibitors
Phosphodiesterases (PDE) are group of enzymes which catalyze the hydrolysis of cAMP and cGMP. Since these cyclic phosphate moieties worked as intracellular second messengers in numerous physiological processes, their inhibition can affect normal ...
