Mechanisms of L-citrulline on phosphodiesterase 5 in erectile dysfunction intervention by Abdulhakeem Olarewaju Sulyman, Olawale Moshood Aliyu, Emmanuel Oladipo Ajani, Yusuf Folohunsho Abdulkareem, Isaac Ade Afe, Fathia Oluwakemi Abdulyakeen, Halimat Yusuf Lukman, Saheed Sabiu, Karishma Singh, Kuben Naidoo

“…The citrulline-PDE5 also had lower root mean square fluctuations (1.11 ± 0.65) than sildenafil-PDE5 (1.25 ± 1.77). The findings suggest that citrulline effectively inhibits PDE5 in a non-competitive manner, with higher binding affinity and greater structural stability than sildenafil, highlighting its potential as a more stable and efficient PDE5 inhibitor. …”
