4MD6 - PubMed Abstract: 
Phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitors have been approved for the treatment of erectile dysfunction and pulmonary hypertension, but enthusiasm on discovery of PDE5 inhibitors continues for their potential new applications. Reported here is discovery of a series of new PDE5 inhibitors by structure-based design, molecular docking, chemical synthesis, and enzymatic characterization ...
