PHARMACODYNAMICS/ PHARMACOKINETICS
PHARMACOTHERAPEUTIC GROUP:
Selective Phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) Inhibitor
ATC-CODE:
G04B E03
Sildenafil is an oral therapy for erectile dysfunction. In the natural
setting, i.e. with sexual
stimulation, it restores impaired erectile function by increasing
blood flow to the penis.
The physiological mechanism responsible for erection of the penis
involves the release of nitric
oxide (NO) in the corpus cavernosum during sexual stimulation. Nitric
oxide then activates the
enzyme guanylate cyclase, which results in increased levels of cyclic
guanosine monophosphate
(cGMP), producing smooth muscle relaxation in the corpus cavernosum
and allowing inflow of
blood.
Sildenafil is a potent and selective inhibitor of cGMP specific
phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) in
the corpus cavernosum, where PDE5 is responsible for degradation of
cGMP. Sildenafil has a
peripheral site of action on erections. Sildenafil has no direct
relaxant effect on isolated human
corpus cavernosum but potently enhances the relaxant effect of NO on
this tissue. When the
NO/cGMP pathway is activated, as occurs with sexual stimulation,
inhibition of PDE5 by sildenafil
results in increased corpus cavernosum levels of cGMP. Therefore
sexual stimulation is required in
order for sildenafil to produce its intended
