| Key Mechanism Factor 1 | |||||||||
| Factor Name | Phosphodiesterase 3 | Structure Sequence | |||||||
| Protein Family | Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase family | ||||||||
| Protein Function |
Cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase with specificity for the second messengers cAMP and cGMP, which are key regulators of many important physiological processes (PubMed:1315035, PubMed:8695850, PubMed:8155697, PubMed:25961942). Has also activity toward cUMP (PubMed:27975297). Independently of its catalytic activity it is part of an E2/17beta-estradiol-induced pro-apoptotic signaling pathway. E2 stabilizes the PDE3A/SLFN12 complex in the cytosol, promoting the dephosphorylation of SLFN12 and activating its pro-apoptotic ribosomal RNA/rRNA ribonuclease activity. This apoptotic pathway might be relevant in tissues with high concentration of E2 and be for instance involved in placenta remodeling (PubMed:31420216, PubMed:34707099).

| Recommended Action | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Management | Concomitant use of riociguat with PDE inhibitors, including specific PDE-5 inhibitors (e.g., avanafil, sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil) or nonspecific PDE inhibitors (e.g., dipyridamole, theophylline), is considered contraindicated. Riociguat should be discontinued at least 24 hours before administering a PDE-5 inhibitor, and avoidance of riociguat administration within 24 hours after sildenafil or within 48 hours after tadalafil is recommended. Limited data exists for other PDE inhibitors. | ||||||||
