Description | Sildenafil is a potent phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor with IC50 of 5.22 nM.In Vitro:Pretreatment with 1 μM Sildenafil potentiates the phosphorylation of ERK1/ERK2, an increase in the percentage of cells in S phase and cell proliferation, compared with serotonin stimulation alone (P<0.05). Pretreatment with 1 μM Sildenafil citrate followed by serotonin stimulation leads to dramatic increase in OD value to 0.33, significantly different compared with serotonin stimulation alone (P<0.05). 1 μM Sildenafil obviously enhances the upregulation of ERK1/ERK2 phosphorylation induced by serotonin[2].In Vivo:In the dog model of erection, Sildenafil citrate significantly increases ICP and ICP/BP but shows no significant effect on BP compared with vehicle[1]. Sildenafil treatment significantly decreases the number of TL+-cells at 10 but not 0.5 mg/kg. At this time point, cells positive for the M1-like marker COX-2+ are found in the ischemic core in PBS-treated animals, whereas they are mostly observed in the penumbra in 10 mg/kg (but not 0.5 mg/kg) Sildenafil-treated animals. In contrast, 8 days after pMCAo the number of microglia/macrophages stained by Iba-1 are significantly reduced by Sildenafil treatment (0.5 and/or 10 mg/kg dose)[3]. Sildenafil citrate has been reported to decrease flap necrosis in preclinical animal models by increasing the secretion of growth factors (FGF and VEGF), and histologically is shown to be effective in rat cavernous nerve architecture[4].

Cell Assay
[2]
Cells at approximately 90% confluence are harvested with 0.1% trypsin/0.01% ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) solution and seeded into a 96-well plate at a density of 2×104 cells/well and grown in RPMI-1640 containing 10% FBS for three days, followed by serum starvation for three days. Cells are then incubated for different time with various concentration of serotonin or 1 μM Sildenafil followed by serotonin with or without U0126, as indicated. Control cells are treated in the same way except sterile PBS replaced the drug. After treatment, medium is changed to fresh medium, and cells are incubated with 5 g/L of MTT for four hours. MTT is then dissolved with 150 μL of 10% DMSO for 20 minutes. The optical densities (OD) in the 96-well plates are determined using a microplate reader at 570 nm[2].
Animal Administration
[3][4]
Mice[3] Ischemia is induced in C57Bl/6 mice on postnatal (P) day 9 by permanent middle cerebral artery occlusion (pMCAo), and followed by either PBS or Sildenafil intraperitoneal (i.p.) injections. In the first set of experiments, animals are randomly divided into five groups and treated with either PBS or a single dose of Sildenafil citrate (0.5, 2.5, 10, and 15 mg/kg), given intraperitoneally (i.p.) 5 min after pMCAo. In the second set of experiments, animals are randomly divided into three groups and treated with either PBS or a single dose of Sildenafil citrate (0.5 and 10 mg/kg, i.p.) 5 min after pMCAo. Rats[4] Thirty male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing between 210 and 240 g are used. Rats from all groups are anesthetized with xylazine + ketamine and then a crush injury is created by using a one-minute long vascular clamp to the right sciatic nerve. One day before the procedure, rats from Group 1 are started on a 28-day treatment consisting of a daily dose of 20 mg/kg body weight Sildenafil given orally via nasogastric tube, while the rats from Group 2 are started on an every-other-day dose of 10 mg/kg body weight Sildenafil citrate. Rats from Group 3 did not receive any drugs. Subjects in all 3 groups are fed ad libitum with normal rat chow and tap water. Forty-two days after the nerve damage is created, the rats underwent a static sciatic index (SSI) test, sedation and motor coordination tests, and accelerated rotarod tests. Rats are sacrificed under anesthesia and their sciatic nerves are removed surgically. Histopathologic analyses of the nerves and bone densitometry evaluation of the extremities are then performed.

Sildenafil is a selective inhibitor of phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) [1].
Phosphodiesterases (PDEs) are enzymes that hydrolyzing cyclic nucleotides cAMP and cGMP to their inactive 5’-monofosfatos forms. The PDE5 enzyme is responsible for the hydrolysis of the cGMP, which restores GMP levels [1].
In human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), Sildenafil (1 mM/5 h) significantly enhanced NO production, which is ~1.5-fold higher than the effect achieved with insulin (100 nM/1 h) [2].
In male C57BL/6 mice, Sildenafil increased glandular activity of the prostate. The secretory epithelium lining showed tall columnar cells. Moreover, the glandular apical region showed evident secretion vesicles. Also, Sildenafil increased substantially testosterone serum levels [1]. In human corpora cavernosa, Sildenafil inhibited PDE5 with a mean IC50 of 3.9 nM. In 12 patients with erectile dysfunction, Sildenafil enhanced the erectile response, which suggested that PDE5 played an important role in human penile erection. So Sildenafil plays as a new effective treatment for penile erectile dysfunction [3].

Utero-placental perfusion Doppler indices in growth restricted fetuses: effect of sildenafil citrate.[Pubmed:28345432]
J Matern Fetal Neonatal Med. 2018 Apr;31(8):1045-1050.
OBJECTIVE: To assess efficacy and tolerability of Sildenafil citrate on utero-placental blood flow and fetal growth in pregnancies complicated by fetal growth restriction (FGR). METHODS: From March 2015, a randomized controlled trial of 54 patients at 24 weeks or more complicated by FGR and abnormal Doppler indices were randomly allocated 1:1 into an intervention arm (receive Sildenafil citrate, 50 mg) or a control arm (receive placebo). The primary outcomes were changes occurred in the Doppler parameters 2 h following drug administration. RESULTS: Baseline characteristics were similar between groups. Significant difference was observed in the Delta uterine and umbilical Doppler indices among Sildenafil group as compared to placebo group (p < 0.001). Middle cerebral Doppler indices, however, decreased significantly after Sildenafil, which could be the result of shifting more blood to improve the utero-placental perfusion. No difference regarding Delta cerebro-placental ratio among both groups (p = 0.979). Sildenafil was also associated with pregnancy prolongation (p = .0001), increased gestational age at delivery (p = .004), improved neonatal weight (p = .0001), and less admission to neonatal intensive care unit (p = .03). No adverse effects reported in both treatment arms. CONCLUSION: Sildenafil citrate, by its vasodilator effect, can improve utero-placental blood flow in pregnancies complicated by FGR and abnormal Doppler. CLINICAL TRIAL: gov Registry: NCT02362399.
Sildenafil Enhances Quantity of Immature Neurons and Promotes Functional Recovery in the Developing Ischemic Mouse Brain.[Pubmed:28343223]
Dev Neurosci. 2017;39(1-4):287-297.
BACKGROUND: Hypoxic-ischemic (HI) injury to the developing brain occurs in 1 out of 1,000 live births and remains a major cause of significant morbidity and mortality. A large number of survivors suffer from long-term sequelae including seizures and neurological deficits. However, the pathophysiological mechanisms of recovery after HI insult are not clearly understood, and preventive measures or clinical treatments are nonexistent or not sufficiently effective in the clinical setting. Sildenafil as a specific phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitor leads to increased levels of the second messenger cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) and promotes functional recovery and neurogenesis after ischemic injury to the adult brain. OBJECTIVE: Here, we investigated the effect of Sildenafil treatment on activation of intracellular signaling pathways, histological and neurogenic response including functional recovery after an ischemic insult to the developing brain. DESIGN/METHODS: Nine-day-old C57BL/6 mice were subjected either to sham operation or underwent ligation of the right common carotid artery followed by hypoxia (8%) for 60 min. Animals were either administered Sildenafil (10 mg/kg, i.p.) or vehicle 2 h after hypoxia. A subgroup of animals received multiple injections of 10 mg/kg daily on 5 consecutive days. Pups were either perfusion fixed at postnatal days 14 or 47 for immunohistochemical analysis, or brains were dissected 2, 6, 12, and 24 h after the end of hypoxia and analyzed for cGMP, pAkt, pGSK-3beta, and beta-catenin by means of ELISA or immunoblotting. In addition, behavioral studies using the wire hang test and elevated plus maze were conducted 21 and 38 days after HI injury. RESULTS: Based on cresyl violet staining, single or multiple Sildenafil injections did not reveal any differences in injury scoring compared to sham animals. However, cerebral levels of cGMP were altered after Sildenafil therapy. Treatment significantly increased numbers of immature neurons, as indicated by doublecortin immunoreactivity in the ipsilateral subventricular zone and striatum. In addition, animals treated with Sildenafil after HI insult demonstrated improved functional recovery. pAkt, pGSK-3beta, and beta-catenin levels vary after HI injury but additional Sildenafil treatment had no impact on protein expression compared to the level of sham controls. CONCLUSIONS: Here, we report that treatment with Sildenafil after HI insult did not improve histological brain injury scores. Nevertheless, our results suggest involvement of the cGMP and PI3K/Akt/GSK-3beta signaling pathway with promotion of a neurogenic response and reduction of neurological deficits. In summary, Sildenafil may have a role in promoting recovery from HI injury in the developing brain.
Treatment response to sildenafil in men with erectile dysfunction relative to concomitant comorbidities and age.[Pubmed:28371025]
Int J Clin Pract. 2017 Mar;71(3-4).
AIM: To evaluate treatment response in men with erectile dysfunction (ED) and concomitant comorbidities. METHODS: Data were pooled from 42 placebo-controlled, flexible-dose Sildenafil trials. In most trials, the Sildenafil dose was 50 mg, taken ~1 hour before sexual activity but not more than once daily, with adjustment to 100 or 25 mg as needed. The overall population (N=9413) was stratified by age (<45, 46-64, >/=65 years). Treatment response was defined as a minimal clinically important difference (MCID) from baseline in the International Index of Erectile Function-Erectile Function (IIEF-EF) domain score of >2, >5 and >7 for men with mild, moderate and severe ED at baseline, respectively, or an IIEF-EF domain score >/=26 (no ED) at end-point. RESULTS: In the overall population, treatment response using the IIEF-EF MCID definition was significantly greater (P<.0001) with Sildenafil vs placebo in men with no comorbidity (77% vs 33%), cardiovascular disease/hypertension only (71% vs 27%), diabetes only (63% vs 24%) or depression only (78% vs 29%). Using an IIEF-EF score >/=26, treatment response was significantly greater (P<.0001) with Sildenafil vs placebo in men with no comorbidity (49% vs 17%), cardiovascular disease/hypertension only (48% vs 12%), diabetes only (40% vs 12%) or depression only (60% vs 17%). With each definition, the treatment response for each age and comorbidity was significantly greater (PSildenafil vs placebo. CONCLUSION: The treatment response was significantly greater with Sildenafil vs placebo in men with ED and each comorbidity regardless of age.
