Abstract excerpt
The activation of protein kinase G (PKG) by cGMP has become of considerable interest as a novel molecular mechanism for the induction of apoptosis in cancer cells, because sulindac sulfone (exisulind, Aptosyn) and certain derivatives that inhibit cGMP-phosphodiesterases and thereby increase cellular levels of cGMP appear to induce apoptosis via this mechanism. However, other effects of these compounds have not...
