Phosphodiesterase Type 5 Inhibitors and Visual Side Effects: A Narrative Review
Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors such as sildenafil citrate and tadalafil are well known for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. However, their use in the presence of pulmonary hypertension can cause ophthalmologic side effects, including non ...

Pharmacotherapy of erectile dysfunction: Current standards
Pharmacotherapy is currently the therapeutic option of choice for erectile dysfunction. Comprising mainly intracavernosal injection therapy using alprostadil or alprostadil combined with phentolamine and/or papaverine and oral phosphodiesterase-5 ...

The cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase RegA critically regulates encystation in social and pathogenic amoebas [PDF]
Amoebas survive environmental stress by differentiating into encapsulated cysts. As cysts, pathogenic amoebas resist antibiotics, which particularly counteracts treatment of vision-destroying Acanthamoeba keratitis. Limited genetic tractability of amoeba

Endothelial dysfunction markers as a therapeutic target for Sildenafil treatment and effects on metabolic control in type 2 diabetes [PDF]
Endothelial dysfunction (ED) plays a role in diabetic cardiovascular complications. Hyperglycemia increases cytockines involved in vascular inflammation.

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 ...

Phosphonic acid-containing inhibitors of tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 1
Tyrosyl-DNA phosphodiesterase 1 (TDP1) repairs stalled type I topoisomerase (TOP1)-DNA complexes by hydrolyzing the phosphodiester bond between the TOP1 Y723 residue and the 3′-phosphate of its DNA substrate.

Cyclic AMP-specific phosphodiesterase, PDE8A1, is activated by protein kinase A-mediated phosphorylation [PDF]
The cyclic AMP-specific phosphodiesterase PDE8 has been shown to play a pivotal role in important processes such as steroidogenesis, T cell adhesion, regulation of heart beat and chemotaxis.

Targeting protein–protein interactions within the cyclic AMP signaling system as a therapeutic strategy for cardiovascular disease [PDF]
The cAMP signaling system can trigger precise physiological cellular responses that depend on the fidelity of many protein–protein interactions, which act to bring together signaling intermediates at defined locations within cells.
