Bioactivity | PF-03049423 (Compound PF-5) is a potent and highly selective phosphodiesterase-5A inhibitor with an IC50 of about 0.2 nM for rat and human platelet enzyme. PF-03049423 can be used for the research of acute ischaemic stroke[1]. |
In Vivo | PF-03049423 (Compound PF-5) (1-10 mg/kg; s.c.; b.i.d. for 7 days) promotes functional recovery in a rat model of severe stroke induced by permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion[1].PF-03049423 (1.0 mg/kg b.i.d. or 0.6 mg/kg q.d. for 7 days) improves poststroke sensory–motor behavioral outcome even when the treatment is initiated 24-72 hours after occlusion[1].
