Avanafil

Avanafil(TA-1790) is a potent and highly selective phosphodiesterase-5(PDE-5) inhibitor(IC50=5.2 nM) for erectile dysfunction; lower selectivity against PDE1, PDE6, and PDE11.IC50 value: 5.2 nM [1]Target: PDE5Avanafil is highly selective toward PDE5 and against all other PDE isozymes tested. Lower selectivity against PDE1, PDE6, and PDE11 is consistent with results from randomized, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trials in which musculoskeletal and hemodynamic adverse events were reported in
Avanafil is a monocarboxylic acid amide obtained by formal condensation of the carboxy group of 4-[(3-chloro-4-methoxybenzyl)amino]-2-[(2S)-2-(hydroxymethyl)pyrrolidin-1-yl]pyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid with the amino group of pyrimidin-2-ylmethylamine. Used for treatment of erectile dysfunction. It has a role as an EC 3.1.4.* (phosphoric diester hydrolase) inhibitor and a vasodilator agent. It is a member of pyrimidines, an aromatic amide, an organochlorine compound, a member of prolinols and a monocarboxylic acid amide.|Avanafil is a new phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor that is faster acting and more selective than other drugs belonging to the same class. Chemically, it is a derivative of pyrimidine and is only available as the S-enantiomer. FDA approved on April 27, 2012.|Avanafil is a Phosphodiesterase 5 Inhibitor. The mechanism of action of avanafil is as a Phosphodiesterase 5 Inhibitor.|Avanafil is a selective inhibitor of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) and is used as therapy of erectile dysfunction. Avanafil is a relatively new medication and has yet to be linked to instances of serum enzyme elevations or with clinically apparent acute liver injury.|Avanafil is an orally available phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor with vasodilatory activity. Avanafil selectively inhibits PDE5, thus inhibiting the degradation of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) found in the smooth muscle of the corpus cavernosa of the penis. The inhibition of cGMP degradation results in prolonged muscle relaxation, vasodilation, and blood engorgement of the corpus cavernosa, thereby prolonging penile erection.
