Abstact

Phosphodiesterase 5A1 (PDE5) is a key target for treating cardiovascular diseases and erectile dysfunction. Here, we report the crystal structure of PDE5 complexed with the sole second generation drug avanafil. Analysis of protein-drug interactions revealed the structural basis of avanafil's superior isoform selectivity. Moreover, a halogen bonding was observed between avanafil and a backbone carbonyl oxygen of an adjacent α-helix, whose contribution to inhibitory potency illustrates the feasibility of exploiting α-helix backbone in structure-based drug design.
