Biological activities

Tadalafil is a selective phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) inhibitor. Tadalafil competitively inhibits cGMP hydrolysis, fostering cGMP accumulation and relaxation of vascular smooth muscle. Tadalafil inhibits PDE-5 with an IC50 of 1.8 nM and bounds to PDE5 with a stoichiometry of 0.68 moL/subunit. Biochemical potencies (affinities) of tadalafil for PDE5 determined by KD (isotherm), KD (dissociationrate), and KD (1/2 EC50) are 2.4, 1.9 and 2.7 nM, respectively.[1] Tadalafil is extremely selective for PDE5, but also potently inhibits PDE11, an enzyme with unknown physiological function, with an IC50 of 37 nM.[2] Tadalafil is broken down mainly via cytochrome P450 CYP3A4. Besides, tadalafil potentiates the hypotensive and anticoagulant effect of nitrates and NO donors.[3] Oral administration of tadalafil (10 mg/kg) 2 hours before 30 minute-coronary artery occlusion results in a smaller infarct size (42%) as compared with the vehicle-treated animals (54%).[4]
