Description: Vardenafil HCl Trihydrate (formerly also known as BAY 38-9456, trade names Levitra; Staxyn; Vivanza) is an approved medication acting as a phosphodiesterase/PDE inhibitor with important biological activity. It inhibits PDE5 and PDE1 with IC50s of 0.7 and 180 nM, respectively. Vardenafil has been approved used for treating erectile dysfunction. Vardenafil (VAR) is synthetic, highly selective, and potent inhibitor of phosphodiesterase-5 which competitively inhibits cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) hydrolysis and thus increases cGMP levels. It is clinically approved for treatment of erectile dysfunction in men, including diabetic and postprostatectomy patients.
ln Vitro |
Vardenafil hydrochloride trihydrate inhibits PDE5-mediated cGMP hydrolysis with an IC50 of 0.7 nM[1]. Vardenafil hydrochloride trihydrate raises intracellular cGMP levels in the penis' cavernosum tissue, causing sinus dilation and increased blood flow [3].

ln Vivo |
In rats suffering from cavernous nerve damage, vardenafil hydrochloride trihydrate (IV; 0.03 mg/kg) shows facilitative effects[4]. Vardenafil hydrochloride trihydrate (IV; 0.17 mg/kg once daily; 7 days) reduces the expression of iNOS and NF-���B in hepatic tissue and shields the liver from Con A-induced hepatitis[5]. In ZDF hearts, vardenafil hydrochloride trihydrate (PO; 10 mg/kg once daily; 25 weeks) inhibits both the rise in 3-NT production and the decrease in tissue cGMP levels [6].

Animal Protocol |
Animal/Disease Models: Male rat (9weeks old) underwent surgery for laparotomy or bilateral cavernous nerve (CN) crush injury[4]
Doses: 0.03 mg/kg Route of Administration: intravenous (iv) injection Experimental Results: Restored normal erectile responses with a combined administration of BAY 60-4552 (0.03, 0.3 mg/kg). Animal/Disease Models: Liver injury induced by Con A in male Swiss albino mice (20 ± 2 g)[5] Doses: 0.17 mg/kg Route of Administration: intravenous (iv) injection; one time/day, for 7 days; as a pretreatment Experimental Results: decreased the levels of serum transaminases and alleviated Con A-induced hepatitis. Animal/Disease Models: Male 7weeks old Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats (preserved ejection fraction, HFpEF)[6] Doses: 10 mg/kg Route of Administration: po (oral gavage); one time/day, for 25 weeks Experimental Results: Improved myofilament function in diabetic rat hearts. |

*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.

Working concentration: mg/mL;
Method for preparing DMSO stock solution: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO (stock solution concentration mg/mL). Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug.
Method for preparing in vivo formulation::Take μL DMSO stock solution, next add μL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL ddH2O,mix and clarify.
(1) Please be sure that the solution is clear before the addition of next solvent. Dissolution methods like vortex, ultrasound or warming and heat may be used to aid dissolving.
(2) Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order.
