Figure 1. Chemical structures of compounds 1 and 2.

Figure 2. Percentage of relaxation induced by compounds 1 and 2 (n = 4). Precontracted PCCSM with 10−5 M L-phenylephrine (Phe) was treated with four concentrations of 1 and 2. Submaximal penile contractile responses induced by Phe were taken as the 100% values, and all subsequent responses to 1 and 2 were expressed as a percentage of this value. Each point represents the mean ± SD of the percentages. Statistical analysis was carried out by ANOVA followed by Bonferroni’s test (**p < 0.01 vs. 10−7 M).
