(A) Competing effects of cyclic GMP (cGMP) and cyclic AMP (cAMP) within the cardiac myocyte. Sildenafil (left side) inhibits phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) leading to the accumulation of cGMP within the cell. cGMP activates protein kinase-G (PKG) resulting in phosphorylation of the L-type Ca2+ channel and cardiac troponin I (cTnI). These effects are negatively inotropic. cAMP (right), for example, following stimulation of β1-adrenoceptors and β2-adrenoceptors by epinephrine, activates PKA leading to positive inotropic and proarrhythmic actions. In addition, there is also potential for crosstalk between the two axes; cGMP can inhibit phosphodiesterase-3 (PDE3) to increase cAMP. (B) Excitation–contraction coupling in the cardiac myocyte. Opening of L-type Ca channels (LTCC) during the action potential lead to influx of Ca and stimulation of Ca release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR), initiating myofilament contraction.

  • Mechanisms of Action of PDE5 Inhibition in Erectile Dysfunction
    International Journal of Impotence Research (2004) 16, S4–S7 & 2004 Nature Publishing Group All rights reserved 0955-9930/04 $30.00 www.nature.com/ijir Original Research Mechanisms of action of PDE5 inhibition in erectile dysfunction JD Corbin1* 1Department of Molecular Physiology and Biophysics, Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, Nashville, Tennesse, USA A spinal reflex and the L-arginine–nitric oxide–guanylyl cyclase–cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) pathway mediate smooth muscle relaxation that results in penile erection. Nerves and endothelial cells directly release nitric oxide in the penis, where it stimulates guanylyl cyclase to produce cGMP and lowers intracellular calcium levels. This triggers relaxation of arterial and trabecular smooth muscle, leading to arterial dilatation, venous constriction, and erection. Phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) is the predominant phosphodiesterase in the corpus cavernosum. The catalytic site of PDE5 normally degrades cGMP, and PDE5 inhibitors such as sildenafil potentiate endogenous increases in cGMP by inhibiting its breakdown at the catalytic site. Phosphorylation of PDE5 increases its enzymatic activity as well as the affinity of its allosteric (noncatalytic/GAF domains) sites for cGMP. Binding of cGMP to the allosteric site further stimulates enzymatic activity. Thus phosphorylation of PDE5 and binding of cGMP to the noncatalytic sites mediate negative feedback regulation of the cGMP pathway.

  • Caffeine and Adenosine
    Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease 20 (2010) S3–S15 S3 DOI 10.3233/JAD-2010-1379 IOS Press Review Article Caffeine and Adenosine Joaquim A. Ribeiro∗ and Ana M. Sebastiao˜ Institute of Pharmacology and Neurosciences, Faculty of Medicine and Unit of Neurosciences, Institute of Molecular Medicine, University of Lisbon, Lisbon, Portugal Abstract. Caffeine causes most of its biological effects via antagonizing all types of adenosine receptors (ARs): A1, A2A, A3, and A2B and, as does adenosine, exerts effects on neurons and glial cells of all brain areas. In consequence, caffeine, when acting as an AR antagonist, is doing the opposite of activation of adenosine receptors due to removal of endogenous adenosinergic tonus. Besides AR antagonism, xanthines, including caffeine, have other biological actions: they inhibit phosphodiesterases (PDEs) (e.g., PDE1, PDE4, PDE5), promote calcium release from intracellular stores, and interfere with GABA-A receptors. Caffeine, through antagonism of ARs, affects brain functions such as sleep, cognition, learning, and memory, and modifies brain dysfunctions and diseases: Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, Epilepsy, Pain/Migraine, Depression, Schizophrenia. In conclusion, targeting approaches that involve ARs will enhance the possibilities to correct brain dysfunctions, via the universally consumed substance that is caffeine. Keywords: Adenosine, Alzheimer’s disease, anxiety, caffeine, cognition, Huntington’s disease, migraine, Parkinson’s disease, schizophrenia, sleep INTRODUCTION were considered out of the scope of the present work. For more detailed analysis of the actions of caffeine in Caffeine causes most of its biological effects via humans, namely cognition, dementia, and Alzheimer’s antagonizing all types of adenosine receptors (ARs).

  • Phosphodiesterase (PDE)
    Phosphodiesterase (PDE) Phosphodiesterase (PDE) is any enzyme that breaks a phosphodiester bond. Usually, people speaking of phosphodiesterase are referring to cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases, which have great clinical significance and are described below. However, there are many other families of phosphodiesterases, including phospholipases C and D, autotaxin, sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase, DNases, RNases, and restriction endonucleases, as well as numerous less-well-characterized small-molecule phosphodiesterases. The cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases comprise a group of enzymes that degrade the phosphodiester bond in the second messenger molecules cAMP and cGMP. They regulate the localization, duration, and amplitude of cyclic nucleotide signaling within subcellular domains. PDEs are therefore important regulators ofsignal transduction mediated by these second messenger molecules. www.MedChemExpress.com 1 Phosphodiesterase (PDE) Inhibitors, Activators & Modulators (+)-Medioresinol Di-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (R)-(-)-Rolipram Cat.

  • The Effects of the Combined Use of a PDE5 Inhibitor and Medications for Hypertension, Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms and Dyslipidemia on Corporal Tissue Tone
    International Journal of Impotence Research (2012) 24, 221 -- 227 & 2012 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 0955-9930/12 www.nature.com/ijir ORIGINAL ARTICLE The effects of the combined use of a PDE5 inhibitor and medications for hypertension, lower urinary tract symptoms and dyslipidemia on corporal tissue tone JH Lee1,2, MR Chae1,2, JK Park1,3, JH Jeon1,4 and SW Lee1,2 ED is closely associated with its comorbidities (hypertension, dyslipidemia and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS)). Therefore, several drugs have been prescribed simultaneously with PDE5 inhibitors. If a specific medication for ED comorbidities has enhancing effects on PDE5 inhibitors, it offers alternative combination therapy in nonresponders to monotherapy with PDE5 inhibitors and allows clinicians to treat ED and its comorbidities simultaneously. To establish theoretical basis of choosing an appropriate medication for ED and concomitant disease, we examined the effects combining a PDE5 inhibitor with representative drugs for hypertension, dyslipidemia and LUTS on relaxing the corpus cavernosum of rabbits using the organ- bath technique. The effect of mirodenafil on relaxing phenylephrine-induced cavernosal contractions was significantly enhanced À4 À6 À6 À7 À9 by the presence of 10 M losartan, 10 M nifedipine, 10 M amlodipine, 10 M doxazosin and 10 M tamsulosin (Po0.05). The maximum relaxation effects were 47.2±3.8%, 57.6±2.6%, 64.0±3.7%, 76.1±5.7% and 71.7±5.4%, respectively. Enalapril and simvastatin had no enhancing effects. The relaxation induced by sodium nitroprusside alone (39.0±4.0%) was significantly À4 enhanced in the presence of the 10 M losartan (66.0±6.0%, Po0.05).

  • Gene Polymorphism on Response to Sildenafil Therapy In
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Efect of a phosphodiesterase-5A (PDE5A) gene polymorphism on response to sildenafl therapy in Received: 5 March 2019 Accepted: 18 April 2019 canine pulmonary hypertension Published: xx xx xxxx Yu Ueda, Lynelle R. Johnson, Eric S. Ontiveros, Lance C. Visser, Catherine T. Gunther-Harrington & Joshua A. Stern Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a common clinical condition associated with morbidity and mortality in both humans and dogs. Sildenafl, a phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitor causing accumulation of cGMP, is frequently used for treatment of PH. The authors previously reported a PDE5A:E90K polymorphism in dogs that results in lower basal cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) concentrations than in wild-type dogs, which could contribute to variability in the efcacy of sildenafl. In this study, response to sildenafl therapy was evaluated in dogs with PH by comparing echocardiographic parameters, quality-of-life (QOL) score, and plasma cGMP concentrations before and after sildenafl therapy. Overall, tricuspid regurgitation estimated systolic pressure gradient (PG) and QOL score were signifcantly improved after sildenafl therapy, and the plasma cGMP concentration was signifcantly decreased. Dogs that had a heterozygous PDE5A status had a signifcantly worse QOL score when compared to the wildtype group after sildenafl treatment. The simple and multiple regression analyses revealed a signifcant but weak prediction for the percent reduction in QOL score with sildenafl treatment by plasma cGMP level and by the PDE5A:E90K polymorphic status. This study showed that sildenafl treatment improved PH in dogs, and the PDE5A:E90K polymorphism blunted the efcacy of sildenafl in terms of QOL improvement. Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a pathologically complex condition characterized by abnormally increased pul- monary arterial (PA) pressure.
