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

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

Vardenafil hydrochloride trihydrate (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 hydrochloride trihydrate (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].

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.5 mg/mL (4.32 mM); Clear solution
