PDE5
cis-ent-Tadalafil is a potent and selective inhibitor of phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5), with an IC₅₀ of 5 nM. As an impurity standard, it is used to identify and quantify this specific stereoisomer in tadalafil drug substance and finished products. Its mechanism of action involves the inhibition of PDE5, leading to vasodilation and reduced blood pressure. |
|---|---|
| ln Vitro |
In vitro, cis-ent-Tadalafil acts as a potent PDE5 inhibitor. Its activity is characterized by its ability to bind to the catalytic site of the PDE5 enzyme, preventing the hydrolysis of cyclic GMP. This leads to an accumulation of cGMP and subsequent vasodilation. It is used in research to differentiate the pharmacological effects of the active tadalafil enantiomer from its inactive isomers.
|
| ln Vivo |
In vivo, cis-ent-Tadalafil, as an isomer of tadalafil, is expected to exhibit PDE5 inhibitory activity and hypotensive effects. It may be present as an impurity in tadalafil formulations and could contribute to or interfere with the therapeutic effects of the drug. Its specific in vivo pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile is not as well-characterized as the parent drug.
|
| Enzyme Assay |
In vitro enzyme assays for PDE5 inhibition typically involve incubating cis-ent-Tadalafil with the PDE5 enzyme and a substrate such as cGMP in a buffer solution. The enzymatic activity is measured by quantifying the amount of hydrolyzed product (GMP) using radiometric or fluorescence-based methods. IC₅₀ values, such as the reported 5 nM for this compound, are determined from dose-response curves.
|
| Cell Assay |
For in vitro cell assays, cis-ent-Tadalafil is evaluated for its effects on cell lines expressing PDE5. Cells are treated with the compound, and the accumulation of intracellular cGMP is measured by ELISA or LC-MS. The compound's potency is compared to that of the active tadalafil enantiomer to assess its potential biological activity and toxicological profile as an impurity.
|
| Animal Protocol |
For in vivo animal studies, cis-ent-Tadalafil may be administered to rodents to study its pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics. Blood pressure is monitored to assess its vasodilatory effects. The compound's distribution, metabolism, and excretion are studied to understand its behavior as an impurity in pharmaceutical formulations. It may also be used in toxicology studies.
|
| ADME/Pharmacokinetics |

| 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 proven to be a highly potent PDE5 inhibitor (IC50 = 5 nM), with a much higher selectivity for PDE5 than for PDE1-4 and PDE6. Compound 12a has an 85-fold 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).
cis-ent-Tadalafil (CAS# 171596-28-4) is a designated European Pharmacopoeia (EP) impurity of the PDE5 inhibitor tadalafil. It has not been approved as a therapeutic agent. The compound is used as a reference standard in pharmaceutical quality control for impurity profiling and chiral analysis of tadalafil formulations. It is also known as Tadalafil EP Impurity C. |
