Inhibitor Comments
Tadalafil is selective for PDE5A over other PDEs tested [12]. Vardenafil is also selective for PDE5A, the next closest inhibitory effect is on PDE3 (IC50 1nM) [3].
Immunopharmacology Comments
The role of PDE5A in immuno-oncology is reviewed in [1].

General Comments
PDE5 is the main cGMP-metabolizing enzyme. Three major PDE5 isoforms are described (A1, A2 and A3). PDE5 is highly expressed in vascular and bronchial smooth muscle, in renal tubules and in platelets. Clinically used PDE5 inhibitors target PDE5 in vascular muscle (to treat erectile dysfunction) and bronchial smooth muscle (to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension). PDE5 is highly expressed in cardiac tissues of experimental and human heart disease, suggesting it as a therapeutic target for cardiovascular disease via the repurposing of existing drugs (reviewed in [10]).
