TABLE 5

Multi-isoform inhibitors and secondary targets of selective inhibitors Although many inhibitors are called “selective”, this is really a relative term. The compounds are termed selective based on the fact that other isoforms are only inhibited at higher concentrations. Some compounds such as dipyridamole and zardaverine are selective for a limited number of isoforms. However, some of the inhibitors that target multiple isoforms may be useful because of this property. For example, dipyridamole is a component of the stroke treatment Aggrenox (aspirin/extended-release dipyridamole).
