Hypotensive Episodes Precede Cognitive Fluctuations in Parkinson's Disease Dementia
Abstract Background Cognitive fluctuations (CFs) are a disabling feature in Parkinson's disease dementia (PDD) and contribute to caregiver burden. The relationship between CFs and neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH), a common autonomic complication in PDD, has not been adequately examined.

Abstract Ritonavir (RTV) is a potent CYP3A inhibitor that is widely used as a pharmacokinetic (PK) enhancer to increase exposure to select protease inhibitors. However, as a strong and complex perpetrator of CYP3A interactions, RTV can also enhance the exposure of other co‐administered CYP3A substrates, potentially causing toxicity.

Sildenafil amplifies calcium influx and insulin secretion in pancreatic β cells
Sildenafil, a phosphodiesterase‐5 (PDE5) inhibitor, has been shown to improve insulin sensitivity in animal models and prediabetic patients. However, its other metabolic effects remain poorly investigated.

Hederagenin Attenuates Cardiac Remodeling by Targeting Phosphodiesterase 9A
ABSTRACT Background and Aim New therapeutic strategies for heart failure are urgently needed. The protective effects of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)—protein kinase G (PKG) pathway on heart have been widely reported. Despite phosphodiesterase 9A (PDE9A) inhibitors combating cardiac remodeling, clinically available drugs are lacking. Hederagenin
