主讲内容:

Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases (PDEs) catalyse the hydrolysis of cyclic AMP  and cyclic GMP, thereby regulating the intracellular concentrations of these cyclic nucleotides, their signalling pathways and, consequently, myriad biological responses in health and disease. PDE inhibitors are used clinically for treating the pathophysiological dysregulation of cyclic nucleotide signalling inerectile dysfunction, pulmonary hypertension, acute refractory cardiac failure, intermittent claudication and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
