  • LEVITRA (Vardenafil Hcl) Tablets
    LEVITRA (vardenafil HCl) Tablets DESCRIPTION LEVITRA® is an oral therapy for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. This monohydrochloride salt of vardenafil is a selective inhibitor of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-specific phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5). Vardenafil HCl is designated chemically as piperazine, 1-[[3-(1,4-dihydro-5- methyl-4-oxo-7-propylimidazo[5,1-f][1,2,4]triazin-2-yl)-4- ethoxyphenyl]sulfonyl]-4-ethyl-, monohydrochloride and has the following structural formula: O O HN N x HCl x 3H2O N N O S O N N Vardenafil HCl is a nearly colorless, solid substance with a molecular weight of 579.1 g/mol and a solubility of 0.11 mg/mL in water. LEVITRA is formulated as orange, round, film-coated tablets with "BAYER" cross debossed on one side and "2.5", "5", "10", and "20" on the other side corresponding to 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg, and 20 mg of vardenafil, respectively. In addition to the active ingredient, vardenafil HCl, each tablet contains microcrystalline cellulose, crospovidone, colloidal silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate, hypromellose, polyethylene glycol, titanium dioxide, yellow ferric oxide, and red ferric oxide. CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY Mechanism of Action Penile erection is a hemodynamic process initiated by the relaxation of smooth muscle in the corpus cavernosum and its associated arterioles. During sexual stimulation, nitric oxide is released from nerve endings and endothelial cells in the corpus cavernosum. Nitric oxide activates the enzyme guanylate cyclase resulting in increased synthesis of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) in the smooth muscle cells of the corpus cavernosum. The cGMP in turn triggers smooth muscle relaxation, allowing increased blood flow into the penis, resulting in erection.

  • Phosphodiesterase (PDE)
    Phosphodiesterase (PDE) Phosphodiesterase (PDE) is any enzyme that breaks a phosphodiester bond. Usually, people speaking of phosphodiesterase are referring to cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases, which have great clinical significance and are described below. However, there are many other families of phosphodiesterases, including phospholipases C and D, autotaxin, sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase, DNases, RNases, and restriction endonucleases, as well as numerous less-well-characterized small-molecule phosphodiesterases. The cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases comprise a group of enzymes that degrade the phosphodiester bond in the second messenger molecules cAMP and cGMP. They regulate the localization, duration, and amplitude of cyclic nucleotide signaling within subcellular domains. PDEs are therefore important regulators ofsignal transduction mediated by these second messenger molecules. www.MedChemExpress.com 1 Phosphodiesterase (PDE) Inhibitors, Activators & Modulators (+)-Medioresinol Di-O-β-D-glucopyranoside (R)-(-)-Rolipram Cat.

The efficacy in this subgroup, based on the Global Efficacy Question, is 56% vs 84% in a selected group of non-diabetic men with ED. Two novel PDE5 inhibitors, tadalafil (Lilly ICOS) and vardenafil (Bayer), have recently completed efficacy and safety clinical trials in ‘general’ and diabetic study populations and are now candidates for US FDA approval. A summary analysis of the phase three clinical trials of sildenafil, tadalafil and vardenafil in both study populations is presented to provide a foundation on which the evaluation of the role of the individual PDE5 inhibitors for the treatment of patients with ED and DM can be built.

  • Guideline for Preoperative Medication Management
    Guideline: Preoperative Medication Management Guideline for Preoperative Medication Management Purpose of Guideline: To provide guidance to physicians, advanced practice providers (APPs), pharmacists, and nurses regarding medication management in the preoperative setting. Background: Appropriate perioperative medication management is essential to ensure positive surgical outcomes and prevent medication misadventures.1 Results from a prospective analysis of 1,025 patients admitted to a general surgical unit concluded that patients on at least one medication for a chronic disease are 2.7 times more likely to experience surgical complications compared with those not taking any medications. As the aging population requires more medication use and the availability of various nonprescription medications continues to increase, so does the risk of polypharmacy and the need for perioperative medication guidance.2 There are no well-designed trials to support evidence-based recommendations for perioperative medication management; however, general principles and best practice approaches are available. General considerations for perioperative medication management include a thorough medication history, understanding of the medication pharmacokinetics and potential for withdrawal symptoms, understanding the risks associated with the surgical procedure and the risks of medication discontinuation based on the intended indication. Clinical judgement must be exercised, especially if medication pharmacokinetics are not predictable or there are significant risks associated with inappropriate medication withdrawal (eg, tolerance) or continuation (eg, postsurgical infection).2 Clinical Assessment: Prior to instructing the patient on preoperative medication management, completion of a thorough medication history is recommended – including all information on prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, “as needed” medications, vitamins, supplements, and herbal medications. Allergies should also be verified and documented.

  • 1.0 INTRODUCTION the Aim of This Work Is to Validate the Analytical
    1.0 INTRODUCTION The aim of this work is to validate the analytical method of quantifying Sildenafil, Vardenafil, Tadalafil and their analogues (Hydroxyhomosildenafil, Norneosildenafil, Acetildenafil, Homosildenafil, Aminotadalafil, Thiosildenafil, N- Desmethylacetildenafil, Thiohomosildenafil, Gendenafil, Carbodenafil, Hydroxythiohomosildenafil, N-Desethylvardenafil, N-Desmethylsildenafil, Udenafil, Hydroxyacetildenafil, Piperiacetildenafil, Dimethylsildenafil, Chloropretadalafil, and Noracetildenafil) using the Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometer (LC- MS/MS) system. This method has been accredited and used daily in the forensic division of the Department of Chemistry (DOC), Malaysia. Sildenafil Citrate (Viagra®), Vardenafil (Levitra®) and Tadalafil (Cialis®) are the only phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) enzyme inhibitors approved by the Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) in United State of America to treat male sex problem function or erectile dysfunction if and only if the consumption of those drugs need to be followed and supervised by physicians due to its harmful side-effects. A Phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor, often shortened to PDE5 inhibitor, are a drug used to block the degradative action phosphodiesterase-5 enzyme on cyclic GMP in the smooth muscle cells lining the blood vessels supplying one of the part of the penis named corpus cavernosum. Corpus cavernosum is one of a pair of sponge like regions of erectile tissue which contain most of the blood in penis during penile erection (Marshall). Analogue is the term refers to structural derivative of a parent compound that often differs from it by a single element. Or in simple terms can describe as a substance that has major chemical structures in common with another chemical. Unfortunately, no toxicological data of these analogues published and the safety of its largely unknown 1 and unpredictable (James, 2007).
