Phosphodiesterase Inhibition: Zardaverine inhibits the activity of phosphodiesterase type 3 (PDE3), an enzyme that breaks down cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). By inhibiting PDE3, zardaverine increases the levels of cAMP and cGMP in cells, leading to various physiological effects.
Cardiovascular Effects: The primary physiological effects of zardaverine are observed in the cardiovascular system. By inhibiting PDE3 in cardiac muscle cells, zardaverine increases intracellular levels of cAMP and cGMP, leading to positive inotropic (increased contractility), chronotropic (increased heart rate), and vasodilatory effects. These effects may have potential applications in the treatment of heart failure, myocardial ischemia, and other cardiovascular disorders.
Smooth Muscle Relaxation: In addition to its effects on cardiac muscle cells, zardaverine may also cause relaxation of smooth muscle cells in blood vessels and other organs. This smooth muscle relaxation may contribute to its vasodilatory effects and may have potential applications in the treatment of conditions involving smooth muscle hyperactivity, such as asthma and erectile dysfunction.
Experimental Models: Zardaverine is commonly used in experimental models to study the physiological effects of phosphodiesterase inhibition and to investigate its potential therapeutic applications. Its effects are studied in cell cultures, animal models, and clinical trials to assess its efficacy and safety in different contexts.
Clinical Applications: While zardaverine itself is not widely used clinically as a therapeutic agent, its pharmacological effects have inspired the development of other PDE3 inhibitors for the treatment of cardiovascular disorders. Drugs such as milrinone and cilostazol are more commonly used in clinical practice for these indications.

We extend modifiers to include items that changes the parent and child taxa. I.e. for a species, that would be the genus that is belongs to and the strains in the species.
A higher number indicates impact on more bacteria associated with the condition and confidence on the impact.
We have X bacteria high and Y low reported. We find that the modifier reduces some and increases other of these two groups. We just tally: X|reduces + Y|Increase = Positive X|increases + Y|decrease = Negative.
Benefit Ratio:
Numbers above 0 have increasing positive effect.
Numbers below 0 have increasing negative effect.
