Common CVD risks include oxidative stress, hyperlipidemia, of Surgery, School of Medicine, Wayne State University, endothelial dysfunction, thrombosis, hypertension, hyperhomocysteinemia, Detroit, USA inflammation, diabetes, obesity, physical inactivity, and genetic factors. Among which, lifestyle changes including diets are modifiable CVD risks, becoming Received: February 15, 2018; Accepted: March 23, the first line of prevention prior to any medication. In the past decades, the 2018; Published: March 30, 2018 USDA, the American Heart Association, the American Nutrition Association, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, and many other health organizations have launched five colors daily with vegetable and fruit consumption for human health. Lipophilic polyphenols, phytochemicals rich in vegetables and fruits, show classical antioxidation (e.g., radical-scavenging, metal chelating, NOX inhibition, attenuation on mitochondrial respiration, inhibition on xanthine oxidase, and upregulations on endogenous antioxidant enzymes), multiple effects on cell signaling (e.g., AMPK activation, SirT1 activation, eNOS activation, FOXO activation, NFkB inactivation, PI3K/AkT inhibition, mTORC1 inhibition, ERK inhibition, JAK/STAT inhibition, IKK/JNK inhibition, PDE inhibition, α-catenin inactivation, downregulation on TLR expression, ACE inhibition, adiponectin elevation, attenuated ET-1 production, and K+ channel activation), and many other biological actions (e.g., inhibition on α-glucosidase, anticoagulation, upregulation on paraoxonase 1, PAI-1 downregulation, tPA upregulation, epigenetic modulation, and altered gut microbiota). Accordingly, polyphenols multiple-targeting CVD risks and progression (Graphic summary) could offer broad range of cardioprotection from atherosclerosis, hypertrophy, arrhythmia, angina, heart failure, etc. Keywords: Polyphenol; Anti-Oxidation; Cardiovascular Disease; Hyperlipidemia; Inflammation; Diabetes; Obesity; Cell Signaling; AMPK; Mtorc1; PI3K; FOXO Graphical Abstract: Austin J Cardiovasc Dis Atherosclerosis - Volume 5 Issue 1 - 2018 Citation: Chu AJ.

Hydroxyurea has been proposed to mediate these effects through a mechanism of increasing cellular cGMP levels. An alternative path to increasing cGMP levels in these cells is through the use of phospho- diesterase-9 inhibitors that selectively inhibit cGMP hydrolysis and increase cellular cGMP levels. We have developed a novel, potent and selective phosphodiesterase-9 inhibitor (IMR-687) specifically for the treatment of Correspondence: SCD.

Roberts1, Nichola Cruickshanks1, Steven Grant2, Andrew Poklepovic2, and Paul Dent1 Abstract The present studies examined the toxic interaction between the non-coxib celecoxib derivative OSU-03012 and phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitors, and also determined the roles of endoplasmic reticulum stress response regulators in cell survival. PDE5 inhibitors interacted in a greater than additive fashion with OSU- 03012 to kill parental glioma and stem-like glioma cells. Knockdown of the endoplasmic reticulum stress response proteins IRE1 or XBP1 enhanced the lethality of OSU-03012, and of [OSU-03012 þ PDE5 inhibitor] treatment. Pan-caspase and caspase-9 inhibition did not alter OSU-03012 lethality but did abolish enhanced killing in the absence of IRE1 or XBP1. Expression of the mitochondrial protective protein BCL-XL or the caspase-8 inhibitor c-FLIP-s, or knockdown of death receptor CD95 or the death receptor caspase-8 linker protein FADD, suppressed killing by [OSU-03012 þ PDE5 inhibitor] treatment. CD95 activation was blocked by the nitric oxide synthase inhibitor L-NAME. Knockdown of the autophagy regulatory proteins Beclin1 or ATG5 protected the cells from OSU-03012 and from [OSU-03012 þ PDE5 inhibitor] toxicity. Knockdown of IRE1 enhanced OSU-03012/[OSU-03012 þ PDE5 inhibitor]–induced JNK activation, and inhibition of JNK sup- pressed the elevated killing caused by IRE1 knockdown. Knockdown of CD95 blunted JNK activation.

Lemke1, Matthew Meyerson 2,9 & Heidi Greulich 2,9 1234567890():,; DNMDP and related compounds, or velcrins, induce complex formation between the phos- phodiesterase PDE3A and the SLFN12 protein, leading to a cytotoxic response in cancer cells that express elevated levels of both proteins. The mechanisms by which velcrins induce complex formation, and how the PDE3A-SLFN12 complex causes cancer cell death, are not fully understood. Here, we show that PDE3A and SLFN12 form a heterotetramer stabilized by binding of DNMDP. Interactions between the C-terminal alpha helix of SLFN12 and residues near the active site of PDE3A are required for complex formation, and are further stabilized by interactions between SLFN12 and DNMDP. Moreover, we demonstrate that SLFN12 is an RNase, that PDE3A binding increases SLFN12 RNase activity, and that SLFN12 RNase activity is required for DNMDP response. This new mechanistic understanding will facilitate devel- opment of velcrin compounds into new cancer therapies. 1 Center for the Development of Therapeutics, Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, Cambridge, MA, USA.

  • Phosphodiesterase-9 (PDE9) Inhibition with BAY 73-6691 Increases Corpus Cavernosum Relaxations Mediated by Nitric Oxide–Cyclic GMP Pathway in Mice
    International Journal of Impotence Research (2012) 25, 69–73 & 2012 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 0955-9930/12 www.nature.com/ijir ORIGINAL ARTICLE Phosphodiesterase-9 (PDE9) inhibition with BAY 73-6691 increases corpus cavernosum relaxations mediated by nitric oxide–cyclic GMP pathway in mice FH da Silva1, MN Pereira1, CF Franco-Penteado2, G De Nucci1, E Antunes1 and MA Claudino3 Phosphodiesterase-9 (PDE9) specifically hydrolyzes cyclic GMP, and was detected in human corpus cavernosum. However, no previous studies explored the selective PDE9 inhibition with BAY 73-6691 in corpus cavernosum relaxations. Therefore, this study aimed to characterize the PDE9 mRNA expression in mice corpus cavernosum, and investigate the effects of BAY 73-6691 in endothelium-dependent and -independent relaxations, along with the nitrergic corpus cavernosum relaxations. Male mice received daily gavage of BAY 73-6691 (or dimethylsulfoxide) at 3 mg kg À 1 per day for 21 days. Relaxant responses to acetylcholine (ACh), nitric oxide (NO) (as acidified sodium nitrite; NaNO2 solution), sildenafil and electrical-field stimulation (EFS) were obtained in corpus cavernosum in control and BAY 73-6691-treated mice. BAY 73-6691 was also added in vitro 30 min before construction of concentration–responses and frequency curves. PDE9A and PDE5 mRNA expression was detected in the mice corpus cavernosum in a similar manner. In vitro addition of BAY 73-6691 neither itself relaxed mice corpus cavernosum nor changed the NaNO2, sildenafil and EFS-induced relaxations. However, in mice treated chronically with BAY 73-6691, the potency (pEC50) values for ACh, NaNO2 and sildenafil were significantly greater compared with control group.

  • (PDE9): Chances and Challenges Against Neurodegeneration
    pharmaceuticals Review A Perspective on Natural and Nature-Inspired Small Molecules Targeting Phosphodiesterase 9 (PDE9): Chances and Challenges against Neurodegeneration Giovanni Ribaudo * , Maurizio Memo and Alessandra Gianoncelli Department of Molecular and Translational Medicine, University of Brescia, 25121 Brescia, Italy; [email protected] (M.M.); [email protected] (A.G.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-030-3717419 Abstract: As life expectancy increases, dementia affects a growing number of people worldwide. Be- sides current treatments, phosphodiesterase 9 (PDE9) represents an alternative target for developing innovative small molecules to contrast neurodegeneration. PDE inhibition promotes neurotransmitter release, amelioration of microvascular dysfunction, and neuronal plasticity. This review will provide an update on natural and nature-inspired PDE9 inhibitors, with a focus on the structural features of PDE9 that encourage the development of isoform-selective ligands. The expression in the brain, the presence within its structure of a peculiar accessory pocket, the asymmetry between the two subunits composing the protein dimer, and the selectivity towards chiral species make PDE9 a suitable target to develop specific inhibitors. Additionally, the world of natural compounds is an ideal source for identifying novel, possibly asymmetric, scaffolds, and xanthines, flavonoids, neolignans, and their derivatives are currently being studied. In this review, the available literature data were interpreted and clarified, from a structural point of view, taking advantage of molecular modeling: 3D structures of ligand-target complexes were retrieved, or built, and discussed.

Thus, elevating cAMP through activation of adenylyl cyclase (AC) or by inhibition of phosphodiesterase (PDE) may be therapeutically beneficial. Here, we demonstrate that elevated cAMP levels suppress growth in C6 cells (a model of glioma) through treatment with forskolin, an AC activator, or a range of small molecule PDE inhibitors with differing selectivity profiles. Forskolin suppressed cell growth in a protein kinase A (PKA)-dependent manner by inducing a G2/M phase cell cycle arrest.
