IC50 and EC50 (mean values) were calculated using sigmodial dose-response, variable slope, nonlinear regression in Prism (GraphPad, San Diego, CA) and deviations are within 5 to 10%.

  • Exi, exisulind; N.D., not determined.

  • ↑, represents increase compared with no drug control;

  • 1-150  same isoform.

  • 1-a  Major cGMP PDE isoforms expressed.

  • 1-b  Inhibition of DEAE column fractionated PDE5 and two activities at 0.25 μM cGMP substrate was determined as described in Thompson et al. (2000a) and Soh et al. (2000).

  • 1-c  Cell growth inhibition (6-day assay) and DNA fragmentation (2-day assay) were determined as described under Experimental Procedures and in Thompson et al. (2000).
