Mechanism Of Action and Pharmacodynamic Effects Click here for help
PDE5 in arterial and venous vascular smooth muscle (VSM) cells is responsible for metabolising cyclic GMP (cGMP) to inactive 5'-GMP, in the control of arterial vascular resistance. Inhibition of PDE5 effectively increases cGMP levels, which results in reduced intracellular calcium in VSM cells and leads to arterial and venous vasorelaxation and a reduction in systemic blood pressure. The hypothesis underlying the use of PDE5 inhibition in diabetic nephropathy, is that reducing blood pressure in the kidney will improve renal function thereby increasing the removal of the toxins responsible for kidney damage. PDE5 inhibition may also act to restore the integrity of the nitrous oxide (NO) signalling pathway, which may be impaired in chronic kidney disease.
