Abstract

5-(2'-Alkoxyphenyl)pyrazolo[4,3-d]pyrimidin-7-ones, and in particular our preferred compound, sildenafil (VIAGRAa'M), discovered through a rational drug design programme, are potent and selective inhibitors of the type 5 cGMP phosphodiesterase from both rabbit platelets and haman corpus cavernosum. Sildenafil is currently in the clinic for the oral treatment of male erectile dysfunction.
