Definition
English
:
An alkaloid found in opium but not closely related to the other opium
alkaloids
in its structure or pharmacological actions. It is a direct-acting smooth muscle relaxant used in the treatment of impotence and as a vasodilator, especially for cerebral
vasodilation
. The mechanism of its pharmacological actions is not clear, but it apparently can inhibit phosphodiesterases and it may have direct actions on
calcium channels.
