Biological Activity

Description Sildenafil (Revatio, UK-92480, Viagra) is a Phosphodiesterase 5 Inhibitor with IC50 of 5.22 nM.
Targets
PDE5 [1]
5.22 nM
In vitro Sildenafil improves insulin signalling and NO production in endothelial cells, probably by reducing oxidative stress induced by hyperglycemia and by increasing intracellular Ca2+ levels[2].
In vivo Acute administration of the PDE-5 inhibitor sildenafil in a single clinically relevant dose does not modulate the in vivo function of the hypertrophic failing right heart of the rat measured by echocardiography and invasive hemodynamics[1].
