Properties

Selective inhibitor of cycloguanosine monophosphate (cGMP) -specific PDE5. PDE5, responsible for the breakdown of cGMP, is contained not only in the cavernous body of the penis, but also in the vessels of the lungs.

Restores impaired erectile function and provides a natural response to sexual arousal. Sildenafil does not have a direct relaxing effect on the corpora cavernosa, but actively enhances the relaxing effect of nitric oxide on this tissue. With sexual arousal, the local release of NO under the influence of sildenafil leads to inhibition of PDE5 and an increase the level of cGMP in the corpus cavernosum, resulting in relaxation of smooth muscles and increased blood flow in the corpus cavernosum.

As a PDE5 inhibitor, sildenafil increases the content of cGMP in the smooth muscle cells of the pulmonary vessels and causes them to relax. In patients with pulmonary hypertension, taking sildenafil leads to vasodilation of the lungs and, to a lesser extent, other vessels.
