Phosphodiesterase Type 5 Inhibitors for Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

New England Journal of Medicine, 2009
A 46-year-old-woman presents with exertional dyspnea and syncope and receives a diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension. Treatment with sildenafil is recommended. Sildenafil and tadalafil are phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors that ameliorate pulmonary arterial hypertension by increasing levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate in the ...

Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors in pulmonary arterial hypertension

Advances in Therapy, 2009
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare disease characterized by vascular proliferation and remodeling, resulting in a progressive increase in pulmonary arterial resistance, right heart failure, and death. The pathogenesis of PAH is multifactorial, with endothelial cell dysfunction playing an integral role.

Effects of phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors on Raynaud’s phenomenon

Rheumatology International, 2014
Raynaud's phenomenon (RP) is commonly observed in fingers and toes of patients with connective tissue diseases (CTDs). However, existing vasodilators have very limited efficacy. In this study, phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE-5Is) were administered to evaluate efficacy on RP.

The safety of phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors for erectile dysfunction

Expert Opinion on Drug Safety, 2016
Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (PDE5Is) are the leading drugs for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED), being recommended as a first line treatment by both the European and US urological guidelines. PDE5Is are highly effective as compared to placebo, well tolerated and have a very low, though not negligible, rate of severe treatment-related ...

Phosphodiesterase Type 5 Inhibitors: Molecular Pharmacology and Interactions with other Phosphodiesterases

Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2005
Erectile function is determined by tight regulation of relaxation or contraction of corpus cavernosal smooth muscle, which is the result of a long and complex chain of molecular events. Control of erectile function resides in signaling pathways of the central and peripheral nervous system, as well as intracellular events in the penile smooth muscle ...

Nonurologic applications of phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors

Current Sexual Health Reports, 2007
Phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) is an enzyme that catalyzes hydrolytic degradation of cyclic guanosine monophosphate, an essential intracellular second messenger that modulates diverse biologic processes in living cells. Three selective inhibitors of PDE5, sildenafil, vardenafil, and tadalafil, have been successfully used by millions of people ...
