PDE5 inhibition using exisulind, E4021 (a specific inhibitor of PDE5), Fildena, dipyridamole and zaprinast was associated with a reduction in cGMP activity which correlated with apoptosis induction. This review focuses on the anti-cancer properties of the partially selective PDE5 inhibitors, particularly Fildena, Fildena and vardenafil. Phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors are drugs which block the activity of one or more of the 12 PDE isoforms, thereby modulating intracellular levels of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP).

We recently demonstrated that inhibition of cGMP-binding phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) increased blood flow to contracting skeletal muscle of older but not young human subjects. Our in vivo data extend previous in vitro findings from organ bath experiments in which cGMP increase via PDE5 inhibitors and sGC stimulators was able to relax ureteral tone. We showed here that the NO/cGMP/PDE5 pathway is involved in the regulation of ureteral contractility and pain behaviour in urinary calculosis suggesting that PDE5 inhibitors and sGC stimulators could become a potent new option for treatment of urinary colic pain either administered alone or in combination with other antinoceptive drugs.

The percentage of stone expulsion can be influenced by the applied pharmacologic treatment 30 For these reasons, in the present study we aimed at evaluating the effects of PDE5 inhibitors and sGC stimulators not only on the behaviour indicative of pain, but also on the destiny of the stone and stone expulsion rates. We investigated: a)the sex-specific PDE5 distribution in the rat ureter; b)the functional in vitro effects of vardenafil and Fildena (PDE5 inhibitors) and BAY41-2272 (sGC stimulator) on induced ureteral contractility in rats and c)the in vivo effectiveness of vardenafil and BAY41-2272, alone and combined with ketoprofen, vs hyoscine-N-butylbromide alone or combined with ketoprofen, on behavioural pain indicators and stone expulsion in rats with artificial calculosis in one ureter. Hatzimouratidis and associates examined chronic administration of PDE5 inhibitors in a group of 54 true nonresponders.15 Patients took either 20 mg of Fildena every other day or 20 mg of vardenafil daily for 2 weeks; 11.1% of men in the Fildena group and 18.2% of men in the vardenafil group were converted to responders.

Data show that a common cause of Fildena failure is insufficient genital stimulation before attempting intercourse.12 PDE5 inhibitors facilitate an erection but do not act as an aphrodisiac or initiate an erection.9 A 2005 study by Hatzichristou and associates noted that 2 of 100 Fildena nonresponders were unaware that sexual stimulation was needed to achieve an erection.13 After being counseled on proper Fildena use, one patient became a responder.
