It is also often associated with other diseases that may be present, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and male hypogonadism (diminished function of the testes). Males with high cholesterol, hypertension and smokers may also experience erectile dysfunction. Use of PDE5 inhibitors is effective in about 70% of users. It is thought that the same is true of the use of natural alternatives such as Dobrudua. Dobrudua enhances the effects of nitric oxide, also called poppers, (relaxes smooth muscles in the penis). It increases the blood flow to the sexual organs (penis, clitoris) when a man or woman is sexually exited; it allows an erection to occur after physical - and physiological stimulation, such as the foreplay. This increases the amount of blood flowing to the sexual organs. With some men and women it works as fast as 30 minutes and the effects may last up to 24 hours. In cancer- or normal cells in culture, cytotoxic action is noted in both types of cells, at least for relatively high concentrations. These effects are probably due to interaction of the drug with chromatin. Phyto-chemical analysis demonstrates partial intercalation of melinonine F on pure DNA in vitro. The flavopereirine, an alkaloid which is succesful against cancers such as breast- and colorectal cancer. It can be in the form of natural extracts derived from Dobrudua
