Biological Activity

Description Tadalafil is a PDE-5 inhibitor with IC50 of 1.8 nM in a cell-free assay. Tadalafil is at least 9000 times more selective for PDE5 than most of the other families of PDEs, with the exception of PDE11. It can partial inhibits PDE11
Targets
PDE5 [1]
(Cell-free assay)
1.8 nM
In vitro Tadalafil binds to PDE5 with KD of 2.4 nM. cGMP stimulates the binding of [3H]Tadalafil. [1] Tadalafil (1 mM) results increased CYP3A protein expression in human hepatocytes. [2]
In vivo Tadalafil (2 mg/kg) almost completely restores penile oxygenation and abolishes neurotomy induced increase and substantially rescues muscle/fiber ratio in penile sectionsin sham-operated rats. [3] Tadalafil (2 mg/kg or 10 mg/kg) significantly improves neurological functional recovery and increases cerebral vascular density and the percentage of BrdU-positive endothelial cells around the ischemic boundary. Tadalafil selectively increases cGMP but not cAMP in brain of rats. [4] Tadalafil decreases the number of apoptotic cells and increases the phosphorylation of the 2 survival associated kinases Akt and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 in mice. [5]
Features Much more potent to PDE-5 than PDE-1 or PDE-6.
