cGMP-Dependent Protein Kinases and cGMP Phosphodiesterases in Nitric Oxide and cGMP Action.

drugs — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 03:56:09 +0000

Authors: Francis SH, Busch JL, Corbin JD, Sibley D To date, studies suggest that biological signaling by nitric oxide (NO) is primarily mediated by cGMP, which is synthesized by NO-activated guanylyl cyclases and broken down by cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs). Effects of cGMP occur through three main groups of cellular targets: cGMP-dependent protein kinases (PKGs), cGMP-gated cation channels, and PDEs. cGMP binding activates PKG, which phosphorylates serines and threonines on many cellular proteins, frequently resulting in changes in activity or function, subcellular localization, or regulatory features. The proteins that are so modified by PKG commonly regulate calcium homeostasis, calcium sensitivity of cellular proteins, platelet activation and adhesion, smooth muscle c…

A gas chromatography/mass spectrometry method for the determination of sildenafil, vardenafil and tadalafil and their metabolites in human urine.

Authors: Strano-Rossi S, Anzillotti L, de la Torre X, BotrÃÂÃÂ¨ F Sildenafil (SDF), vardenafil (VDF) and tadalafil (TDF) are phosphodiesterase type 5 enzyme inhibitors (PDE5Is), used in the treatment of erectile disorders and to improve breathing efficiency in pulmonary hypertension. The increasing incidence of their use among young athletes has drawn the attention of the anti-doping authorities to the possible abuse of PDE5Is by athletes due to their pharmacological activities. This paper describes a method for the determination in urine of PDE5Is and their metabolites by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) after liquid/liquid extraction of the analytes from urine and derivatisation to obtain trimethylsilyl derivatives.

cGM P has a short-term effect on smooth muscle tone and a longer-term effect on responses to chronic drug treatment or proliferative signals. cGMP-Phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) hydrolizes cGMP, and the result is smooth muscle contraction. PDE5 is a relatively novel therapeutic target of various diseases, such as erectile dysfunction and pulmonary hypertension. The most intensively examined and marketed PDE5 inhibitor was sildenafil (Viagra) but recently vardenafil (Levitra) and tadalafil (Ci alis) were launched with beneficial ADME parameters and PDE5 selectivity. The increasing interest in PDE5 inhibition made it reasonable to collect the available inhibitory data from the scientific…

drugs — Sat, 22 May 2010 02:54:11 +0000

Authors: Becker AJ, Uckert S, Stief CG
Phosphodiesterase (PDE) isoenzymes hold a central rol e in controlling levels of the cyclic nucleotide monophosphates cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP, which are important second messengers in many transmitter pathways involved in regulating biological processes in urogenital tissues. The development of the PDE5 inhibitors Sildenafil (Viagra), Vardenafil (Levitra), and Tadalafil (Cialis), combining a high re sponse rate and the advantage of on-demand intake, is the result of the scientific characterization of the physiology of penile erectile smooth muscle.The introduction of these compounds as safe and well-tolerated orally active drugs for the treatment of erectile dysfunction has not only become a worldwide clinical success, but it provided the basis fo…

Is it really men who stop couple sexuality?

drugs — Thu, 20 May 2010 11:23:03 +0000

The word on the street is that male sexual desire is automatic, erections are spontaneous, and intercourse frequent. Another assumption is that men are easily frustrate d by women’s inhibited desire and their difficulty to reach orgasm. And, with the introduction of pro-erection medications (Viagra, Cialis, Levitra) erectile dysfunction has been cured and the man returns to the easy, predictable, and autonomous erections of youth.
How true are these assumptions? The majority of men learn to be sexual with spontaneous erections, a sense of sexual lust and control, and highly predictable sexual intercourse. For most men under 30, s exual response is autonomous-he can experience desire, arousal, and orgasm and need nothing from his partner. The traditional model of total predictability and cont…

Two months later he had a new tonic-clonic seizure 4 hours after taking 30mg of vardenafil. At 8 months’ follow-up, he was seizure-free without treatment.

The authors note that convulsions were not reported to Bayer during clinical trials of vardenafil. Howev er, people on sildenafil have had seizures. In addition, recent evidence indicates that…
