"Preclinical studies have shown that TA-1790 is equally as effective as sildenafil, the active ingredient in
Viagra, in inducing penile rigidity in several different animal species, including primates. In vitro studies have
demonstrated that TA-1790 inhibits PDE5 more selectively than does sildenafil. In these studies, sildenafil
demonstrated greater inhibition of other PDE enzymes, which may result in unwanted side effects in tissues
and organs. TA-1790 has also been shown in in vitro models to cause less inhibition at adenosine receptors;
adenosine may play a role in maintaining normal cardiac rhythm. "

<< Is it proper to inquire what the 'Unique characteristics' are? >>

First request was NO discussion.
Second:
<<Please no crap-shot.>>

News that may qualify should report:
1. Scientific achievement which will *shake* sector
2. Significant positive PIIb or PIII results
3. NDA (ANDA) submission and approval
4. Large collaboration-partnership
5. Unexpected strong market penetration
6. ...

VVUS and DCTH news were *CRAP-SHOT*.

If *PLEASE* can not do it, than tread (one more crap-shot news from ANYONE) will be closed.

Miljenko

PS: The tread is only to registry important news for SECTOR!
