The physiological role of phosphodiesterase (PDE)11 is unknown and its biochemical characteristics are poorly understood. We have expressed human His-tagged PDE11A4 and purified the enzyme to apparent homogeneity. PDE11A4 displays K(m) values of 0.97 microM for cGMP and 2.4 microM for cAMP, and maximal velocities were 4- to 10-fold higher for cAMP than for cGMP. Given the homology between PDE11 and PDE5, we have compared the biochemical potencies of tadalafil (Cialis, Lilly-ICOS), vardenafil (Levitra, Bayer-GSK), and sildenafil (Viagra, Pfizer Inc.) for PDE11A4 and PDE5A1. PDE5A1/PDE11A4 selectivities are 40-, 9300-, and 1000-fold for tadalafil, vardenafil, and sildenafil, respectively. This suggests that none of these three compounds is likely to crossreact with PDE11A4 in patients.
磷酸二酯酶(PDE)11的生理作用尚不清楚,其生化特性也了解甚少。我们已表达了带有组氨酸标签的人PDE11A4,并将该酶纯化至表观均一性。PDE11A4对环磷酸鸟苷(cGMP)的米氏常数(K(m))为0.97微摩尔,对环磷酸腺苷(cAMP)的米氏常数为2.4微摩尔,cAMP的最大反应速度比对cGMP高4至10倍。鉴于PDE11与PDE5之间的同源性,我们比较了他达拉非(希爱力,礼来-ICOS公司)、伐地那非(艾力达,拜耳-葛兰素史克公司)和西地那非(万艾可,辉瑞公司)对PDE11A4和PDE5A1的生化效力。他达拉非、伐地那非和西地那非对PDE5A1/PDE11A4的选择性分别为40倍、9300倍和1000倍。这表明这三种化合物在患者中均不太可能与PDE11A4发生交叉反应。
