Lodenafil carbonate, a prodrug dimer that delivers Lodenafil in vivo, is an orally active inhibitor of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), indicated for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED)[1][2].
N-Desethyl-N-methyl Vardenafil, a potential impurity in commercial vardenafil preparations, functions as a phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitor, similar to its parent compound. With an IC50 value of 2 nM, it exhibits potent inhibitory activity against PDE5.
