Bioactivity | Vardenafil hydrochloride is a selective and orally active inhibitor of phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5), with an IC50 of 0.7 nM. Vardenafil hydrochloride shows inhibitory towards PDE1 (180 nM), PDE6 (11 nM), PDE2, PDE3, and PDE4 (>1000 nM)[1]. Vardenafil hydrochloride competitively inhibits cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) hydrolysis and thus increases cGMP levels[2]. Vardenafil hydrochloride can be used for the research like erectile dysfunction, hepatitis, diabetes[1]-[6]. |
Invitro | Vardenafil hydrochloride specifically inhibits the hydrolysis of cGMP by PDE5 with an IC50 of 0.7 nM[1].Vardenafil hydrochloride 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]. |
