Vardenafil
Based on 6 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Vardenafil is a selective and orally active inhibitor of phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5), with an IC50 of 0.7 nM. Vardenafil shows inhibitory towards PDE1, PDE6 with IC50s of 180 nM, and 11 nM, while IC50s are >1000 nM for PDE3 and PDE4. Vardenafil competitively inhibits cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) hydrolysis and thus increases cGMP levels. Vardenafil can be used for the research of erectile dysfunction, hepatitis, diabetes[1]-[6].

Vardenafil specifically inhibits the hydrolysis of cGMP by PDE5 with an IC50 of 0.7 nM[1].
Vardenafil increases intracellular cGMP levels in the cavernosum tissue of the penis, thus results increasing the dilation of the body's sinuses and blood flow[3].
MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for reference only.
Vardenafil (I.V.; 0.17 mg/kg once daily; 7 days) protects liver against Con A–induced hepatitis, and decreases the expression of NF-??B and iNOS in hepatic tissue[5].
Vardenafil (P.O.; 10 mg/kg once daily; 25 weeks) prevents the reduction of tissue cGMP levels and the increase in 3-NT generation in ZDF hearts[6].
