  2. Endogenous Metabolite Phosphodiesterase (PDE)
  3. Vardenafil dihydrochloride

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

Description

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

IC50 & Target

PDE5

0.7 nM (IC50)

PDE1

180 nM (IC50)

PDE6

11 nM (IC50)

In Vitro

Vardenafil dihydrochloride specifically inhibits the hydrolysis of cGMP by PDE5 with an IC50 value of 0.7 nM[1].
Vardenafil dihydrochloride 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].

In Vivo

Vardenafil dihydrochloride (0.03 mg/kg; i.v.) exhibits facilitator effects in rats with cavernous nerve injury[4].
Vardenafil dihydrochloride (0.17 mg/kg; i.v.; once daily; 7 d) protects liver against Con A–induced hepatitis, and decreases the expression of NF-𝜅B and iNOS in hepatic tissue[5].
Vardenafil dihydrochloride (10 mg/kg; p.o.; once daily; 25 weeks) prevents the reduction of tissue cGMP levels and the increase in 3-NT generation in ZDF hearts[6].

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
