In the recent few years, especially since the introduction of phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor, sildenafil, most researchers have focused their researches on biochemistry and physiology of erectile function. New progress has been made made in basic and clinic researches on pharmacotherapy for ED. In this article, the putative molecular or cellular mechanism of actions of the available centrally and peripherally acting drugs are reviewed, providing details about the current and most explosive area of drug research and development in erectile dysfunction.
