Phosphodiesterase inhibitors
1.
2.
3. • The cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases degrade the
phosphodiester bond in the second messenger cAMP and
cGMP.
• PDEs are therefore important regulators of signal
transduction mediated by these second messenger
molecules.
• When referring to phosphodiesterases we usually refers to
cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases which have great
clinical implications.
• PDE family: 11 isoenzymes families (PDE 1-PDE 11) with
over 50 isoforms
12. • Drugs that block subtypes of the enzyme
phosphodiesterase (PDE).
• Therefore preventing the inactivation of the intracellular
second messengers cyclic adenosine monophosphate
(cAMP) and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) by
the respective PDE subtype(s).
• They are classified into non-selective PDE inhibitors and
selective PDE.
26. Approved PDE3 inhibitors include the following:
• Amrinone
• Cilostazol
• Milrinone
• Enoximone
• Also referred as nonglycoside nonsympathomimetic
ionotropic agents.
• Positive ionotropic on heart, vasodilatation of vessels.
35. • PDE5 has only one subtype, PDE5A, of which there are 4
isoforms in humans called PDE5A1-4.
• PDE5 enzyme is specific for cGMP which means it only
hydrolyzes cGMP but not cAMP, the selectivity is
mediated through network of hydrogen bonding which is
favorable for cGMP but unfavorable for cAMP in PDE5.
• PDE5 is responsible for the degradation of cGMP in the
smooth muscle cells lining the blood vessels supplying the
corpus cavernosum of the penis, which leads to erectile
dysfunction (ED).
36.
37. Cyclic GMP in turn activates a
specific protein kinase which
results in the opening of the
potassium channels and
hyperpolarization and causes
sequestration of intracellular
calcium and blocks calcium
influx. As a result of this drop in
cytosolic calcium, smooth
muscle relaxation occurs leading
to erection.
38. • PDE-5 inhibitors do not increase the nitric oxide level, but
they potentiate the nitric oxide effect to stimulate
erection.
• Without sexualarousal, these inhibitors are ineffective
