Product Description
ent-Tadalafil (ent-IC-351) is a cis-enantiomer and an impurity of Tadalafil, which is an inhibitor of PDE5/phosphodiesterase 5 approved as an oral drug for treating erectile dysfunction (ED).
ent-Tadalafil (ent-IC-351) is the inactive cis-enantiomer of Tadalafil, a potent PDE5 inhibitor approved for erectile dysfunction. This compound, also known as Tadalafil impurity B, has the CAS number 629652-72-8 and a molecular weight of 389.40 g/mol. It is a white to off-white solid powder primarily used as a reference standard in pharmaceutical quality control to identify and quantify the inactive isomer impurity in Tadalafil drug substance and products. Its stereochemistry is (6S,12aS), distinguishing it from the active (6R,12aR) enantiomer.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
PDE5 (Inactive; IC50 > 10 μM)
ent-Tadalafil targets phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5), the same enzyme as its active enantiomer Tadalafil. However, it serves as an inactive control as it does not effectively inhibit PDE5. While Tadalafil has an IC50 of approximately 0.090 μM (or 5 nM in some references), ent-Tadalafil shows no significant inhibitory activity at concentrations up to 10 µM. This lack of activity makes it a valuable negative control for research.
ln Vitro
In vitro, ent-Tadalafil is characterized by its lack of PDE5 inhibitory activity, with an IC50 greater than 10 μM. It is used as an inactive control in assays to validate the specificity of PDE5 inhibition by active compounds. Its primary role is analytical, serving as a reference standard for identifying and quantifying the cis-enantiomer impurity in Tadalafil samples, ensuring the purity and quality of the active pharmaceutical ingredient.
ln Vivo
In vivo, ent-Tadalafil is not a therapeutic agent and lacks the pharmacological activity of its active enantiomer. Its use is confined to analytical and quality control applications. The active Tadalafil has profound and long-lasting blood pressure lowering activity, but ent-Tadalafil does not exhibit such effects. The compound is used in pharmacokinetic studies as a reference to distinguish the active drug from its inactive impurities.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme assays for ent-Tadalafil typically involve measuring its inhibition of PDE5 activity. The enzyme is incubated with increasing concentrations of the compound (up to 10 µM) and a substrate in kinase assay buffer. Phosphorylation is measured using radioactive or luminescence-based assays. IC50 values are calculated, confirming its inactivity. This assay validates the specificity of PDE5 inhibition by active compounds.
Cell Assay
For in vitro cell-based assays, ent-Tadalafil is used as a negative control. Cells are treated with the compound at various concentrations, and its effects on cell proliferation or signaling pathways are measured. Its lack of activity confirms that any observed effects are due to the active enantiomer. The compound's primary use is as a reference standard in analytical method development.
Animal Protocol
In vivo animal studies are not typically performed with ent-Tadalafil, as it is an inactive impurity and not a therapeutic candidate. Its use is confined to analytical and quality control applications. The compound is used as a reference standard for the quantification of Tadalafil and its impurities in pharmaceutical formulations and biological samples.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
ent-Tadalafil (CAS: 629652-72-8) has a molecular weight of 389.40 g/mol and a molecular formula of C22H19N3O4. It is a white to off-white solid powder with a melting point of 302-304 ºC. The compound is soluble in DMSO. Storage recommendations: powder at -20°C for up to 3 years and in solvent at -80°C for up to 1 year.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
ent-Tadalafil is a research compound and is not approved for human therapeutic use. As an impurity standard, it is used in very small quantities and does not pose significant toxicity risks under normal handling. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be followed. The compound is not intended for human therapeutic use.

Additional Infomation
Modification of the hydantoin ring in the previously described lead compound 2a led to the discovery of compound 12a, tadalafil, a highly potent and selective PDE5 inhibitor. Substituting the hydantoin ring in compound 2a with a piperazine dione ring yielded compound cis-11a, which exhibits similar PDE5 inhibitory activity to 2a. Introducing a 3,4-methylenedioxy group at the 6-position of the benzene ring resulted in cis-11c, a highly potent PDE5 inhibitor with enhanced cellular activity. Chain optimization on the piperazine dione ring identified the racemic cis-N-methyl derivative 11i. The piperazine dione series of compounds exhibits high diastereoselectivity for PDE5 inhibition, with the cis-(6R,12aR) enantiomer showing the highest PDE5 inhibitory activity. Piperazine dione compound 12a, namely tadalafil (GF196960), has been shown to be a highly potent PDE5 inhibitor (IC50 = 5 nM) with much higher selectivity for PDE5 than for PDE1-4 and PDE6. Compound 12a has 85 times higher selectivity for PDE6 than sildenafil. In a spontaneously hypertensive rat model, oral administration of 12a (5 mg/kg) resulted in a significant and sustained decrease in blood pressure (30 mmHg/>7 h). [1]
