The structure-activity relationship of papaverine analogs, the inhibitors of adenosine cyclic 3', 5'-monophosphate (c-AMP) phosphodiesterase, is discussed. The enzyme inhibition activity of these compounds are found to be dominantly controlled by hydrophobicity and steric factors. A significant quantitative correlation has been obtained between the inhibition activity and the van der Waals volume.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D010208	Papaverine	An alkaloid found in opium but not closely related to the other opium alkaloids in its structure or pharmacological actions. It is a direct-acting smooth muscle relaxant used in the treatment of impotence and as a vasodilator, especially for cerebral vasodilation. The mechanism of its pharmacological actions is not clear, but it apparently can inhibit phosphodiesterases and it may have direct actions on calcium channels.

D013329	Structure-Activity Relationship	The relationship between the chemical structure of a compound and its biological or pharmacological activity. Compounds are often classed together because they have structural characteristics in common including shape, size, stereochemical arrangement, and distribution of functional groups.

D015105	3',5'-Cyclic-AMP Phosphodiesterases	Enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of CYCLIC AMP to form adenosine 5'-phosphate. The enzymes are widely distributed in animal tissue and control the level of intracellular cyclic AMP. Many specific enzymes classified under this heading demonstrate additional spcificity for 3',5'-cyclic IMP and CYCLIC GMP.	3',5'-Cyclic AMP 5'-Nucleotidohydrolase,3',5'-Cyclic-Nucleotide Phosphodiesterase,CAMP Phosphodiesterase,3',5' Cyclic AMP Phosphodiesterase,3',5'-Cyclic AMP Phosphodiesterase,3',5'-Cyclic Nucleotide Phosphodiesterase,3',5'-Cyclic-AMP Phosphodiesterase,3',5'-Nucleotide Phosphodiesterase,3,5-Cyclic AMP 5-Nucleotidohydrolase,3,5-Cyclic AMP Phosphodiesterase,3',5' Cyclic AMP 5' Nucleotidohydrolase,3',5' Cyclic AMP Phosphodiesterases,3',5' Cyclic Nucleotide Phosphodiesterase,3',5' Nucleotide Phosphodiesterase,3,5 Cyclic AMP 5 Nucleotidohydrolase,3,5 Cyclic AMP Phosphodiesterase,5'-Nucleotidohydrolase, 3',5'-Cyclic AMP,5-Nucleotidohydrolase, 3,5-Cyclic AMP,AMP 5'-Nucleotidohydrolase, 3',5'-Cyclic,AMP 5-Nucleotidohydrolase, 3,5-Cyclic,AMP Phosphodiesterase, 3',5'-Cyclic,AMP Phosphodiesterase, 3,5-Cyclic,Nucleotide Phosphodiesterase, 3',5'-Cyclic,Phosphodiesterase, 3',5'-Cyclic AMP,Phosphodiesterase, 3',5'-Cyclic Nucleotide,Phosphodiesterase, 3',5'-Cyclic-AMP,Phosphodiesterase, 3',5'-Cyclic-Nucleotide,Phosphodiesterase, 3',5'-Nucleotide,Phosphodiesterase, 3,5-Cyclic AMP,Phosphodiesterase, CAMP,Phosphodiesterases, 3',5'-Cyclic-AMP
