“…In the penile erectile process, PGI 2 and PGE 1 can bind to the endothelial PGI receptor (IP) [ 13 , 21 , 22 ] and PGE receptor (EP, mainly EP 2 /EP 4 ), [ 1 , 24 , 25 ] respectively, which activates Gs protein-coupled receptor. This will initiate adenylyl cyclase to increase intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels.…”

“…The elevated cAMP can finally stimulate protein kinase A (PKA) to induce cascade of phosphorylation and inhibit myosin light chain kinase, with a result of trabecular smooth muscle relaxation and vasodilation. [ 1 , 13 ] For this relaxant ability, PGI 2 has been regarded as a valid candidate for ED treatment, [ 13 ] whereas repeated intracavernous or intraurethral PGE 1 injection can increase neuronal and endothelial NOS proteins [ 25 , 26 ] to improve ED. [ 22 , 25 ] PGD 2 also produced modest relaxation of penile arteries via interaction with EP 2 and other receptors.…”

“…In a recent report, ASA improved endothelium‐dependent vasorelaxation through increased bioavailability of NO (Tauseef et al ., ). On the other hand, indomethacin and diclofenac as nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs negatively affected the erectile process in rats due to reduction in the plasma level of NO (Senbel, ). nNOS is localised in penile autonomic nerves and arterioles.…”
