Bioactivity | N-Desmethyl Sildenafil-d8 is the deuterium labeled N-Desmethyl Sildenafil (HY-117605). N-Desmethyl Sildenafil is a major metabolite of Sildenafil. Sildenafil is a potent phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor[1][2][3]. |
Invitro | Stable heavy isotopes of hydrogen, carbon, and other elements have been incorporated into drug molecules, largely as tracers for quantitation during the drug development process. Deuteration has gained attention because of its potential to affect the pharmacokinetic and metabolic profiles of drugs[1]. |
