Product Description

Description: Tadalafil (formerly known as IC351; IC-351; trade name Cialis) is a potent, orally bioavailable, reversible and competitive small-molecule inhibitor of PDE-5 (phosphodiesterase 5) with the potential to treat erectile dysfunction (ED), benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and pulmonary arterial hypertension. It inhibits PDE5 with an IC50 of 1.8 nM in a cell-free assay, and shows >10000-fold selectivity for PDE5 over other isoforms of PDE such as PDE1/47/8/9/10. Tadalafil is mainly used for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) via oral administration, but also improves the vasoconstrictive-predominate condition of PAH through elevating cGMP levels in pulmonary vessels resulted from PDE5 inhibition, therefore, it is also a medication used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
ln Vitro
The assays IC (50), K (D) (isotherm), K (D) (dissociation rate), and K (D) ((1/2) EC (50)) were utilized to ascertain the biochemical potency (affinity) of these compounds for PDE5. The results showed that the following compounds met the criteria: sildenafil (3.7 +/-1.4, 4.8 +/-0.80, 3.7 +/-0.29 and 11.7 +/-0.70 nM), Tadalafil (1.8 +/-0.40, 2.4 +/-0.60, 1.9 +/-0.37 and 2.7 +/-0.25 nM); and vardenafil (0.091 +/-0.031, 0.38 +/-0.07, 0.27 +/-0.01 and 0.42 +/-0.10 nM). As a result, each inhibitor has comparable absolute potency values, with vardenafil having the highest relative potency followed by tadalafil and sildenafil [1]. The semen samples were mixed with 0.5 ml of Tadalafil solutions at varying concentrations (0.2, 0.1, 0.05, and 0.025 μg ml-1, respectively). After two hours of incubation, samples treated with 0.2 μg ml-1 Tadalafil demonstrated a significant increase in sperm motility in both groups [2].
ln Vivo
The Tadalafil-treated group's erectile function (intocavernosal pressure/mean arterial pressure) at 0.3, 0.5, 1, 3, and 5 Hz was higher than the diabetic group's values at comparable frequencies that were near to the control values [3]. Orally administer 20 mg of Tadalafil or 100 mg of Sildenafil. In neither group were there statistically significant variations in the parameters of computer-assisted semen analysis. After taking sildenafil for one hour and tadalafil for two hours, there was no discernible change in the frequency of acrosome preterm response [2].
Animal Protocol
Dissovled in saline; 2 mg/kg; oral gavage

*Note: Please select an appropriate solvent for the preparation of stock solution based on your experiment needs. For most products, DMSO can be used for preparing stock solutions (e.g. 5 mM, 10 mM, or 20 mM concentration); some products with high aqueous solubility may be dissolved in water directly. Solubility information is available at the above Solubility Data section. Once the stock solution is prepared, aliquot it to routine usage volumes and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
