IC50 values were determined using either native enzyme purified from human tissue (PDE1, heart; PDEs 2, 3 and 5, corpus cavernosum; PDE4, skeletal muscle; PDE6, retina) or using recombinant human enzymes expressed in Sf9 cells (PDEs 7?11) and purified by anion-exchange chromatography. Adapted from Ref. 29. IC50, drug concentration necessary to inhibit 50% of enzyme activity; PDE, phosphodiesterase. | ||||||||||||
