Pharmacological action
Sildenafil is a potent selective inhibitor of cycloguanosine monophosphate (cGMP) type 5 phosphodiesterase (PDE5).
Mechanism of Action
The implementation of the physiological mechanism of erection is associated with the release of nitric oxide (NO) in the corpora cavernosa during sexual stimulation. This, in turn, leads to an increase in cGMP level, subsequent relaxation of the smooth muscle tissue of the cavernous body and an increase in blood flow.
Sildenafil does not have a direct relaxing effect on an isolated human cavernous body, but enhances the effect of nitric oxide (NO) by inhibiting PDE5, which is responsible for the breakdown of cGMP.
Sildenafil is selective for PDE5 in vitro, its activity for PDE5 is superior to that of other known phosphodiesterase isoenzymes: PDE6 - 10 times PDE1 - more than 80 times PDE2, PDE4, PDE7-PDE11 - more than 700 times. Sildenafil is 4,000 times more selective for PDE5 compared to PDE3, which is crucial because PDE3 is one of the key enzymes for regulating myocardial contractility.
A prerequisite for the effectiveness of sildenafil is sexual stimulation.
Clinical data
Cardiological studies
The use of sildenafil in doses up to 100 mg did not lead to clinically significant ECG changes in healthy volunteers. The maximum decrease in systolic pressure in the supine position after taking sildenafil in a dose of 100 mg was 8.3 mm RT. Art., and diastolic pressure - 5.3 mm RT. Art. A more pronounced, but also transient effect on blood pressure was observed in patients taking nitrates.
In a study of the hemodynamic effect of sildenafil in a single dose of 100 mg in 14 patients with severe coronary artery disease (more than 70% of patients had stenosis of at least one coronary artery), systolic and diastolic resting pressure decreased by 7% and 6% , respectively, and pulmonary systolic pressure decreased by 9%. Sildenafil did not affect cardiac output and did not disrupt blood flow in stenosed coronary arteries, and also led to an increase (by about 13%) in adenosine-induced coronary flow in both stenosed and intact coronary arteries.
In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 144 patients with erectile dysfunction and stable angina pectoris taking antianginal drugs (except nitrates) they performed physical exercises until the severity of symptoms of angina pectoris decreased. The duration of the exercise was significantly longer (19.9 seconds, 0.9-38.9 seconds) in patients taking sildenafil in a single dose of 100 mg compared with patients receiving placebo.
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, the effect of changing the dose of sildenafil (up to 100 mg) in men (n = 568) with erectile dysfunction and hypertension taking more than two antihypertensive drugs was studied. Sildenafil improved erection in 71% of men compared to 18% in the placebo group. The frequency of adverse effects was comparable to that in other groups of patients, as well as in individuals taking more than three antihypertensive drugs.
Studies of visual disturbances of
In some patients, 1 h after taking sildenafil at a dose of 100 mg with the help of the Farnsworth-Munsel 100 test, a mild and transient impairment in the ability to distinguish shades of color (blue / green) was detected. 2 hours after taking the drug, these changes were absent. Believed that color vision impairment is caused by the inhibition of PDE6, which is involved in the process of light transmission in the retina. Sildenafil did not affect visual acuity, contrast perception, electroretinogram, intraocular pressure or pupil diameter.
In a placebo-controlled cross-sectional study of patients with proven early-stage macular degeneration (n = 9), a single dose of 100 mg sildenafil was well tolerated. There were no clinically significant changes in vision evaluated by special visual tests (visual acuity, Amsler lattice, color perception, color transmission modeling, Humphrey perimeter and photo stress).
Efficacy
The efficacy and safety of sildenafil was evaluated in 21 randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies lasting up to 6 months in 3,000 patients aged 19 to 87 years, with erectile dysfunction of various etiologies (organic, psychogenic or mixed). The effectiveness of the drug was evaluated globally using an erection diary, an international index of erectile function (a validated questionnaire on the state of sexual function) and a survey of a partner.
The effectiveness of sildenafil, defined as the ability to achieve and maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory intercourse, was demonstrated in all studies and was confirmed in long-term studies lasting 1 year. In fixed-dose studies, the ratio of patients reporting that therapy improved their erection was 62% (sildenafil dose 25 mg), 74% (sildenafil dose 50 mg) and 82% (sildenafil dose 100 mg) compared to 25% in the placebo group. The analysis of the international index of erectile function showed that in addition to improving erection, treatment with sildenafil also increased the quality of orgasm, and allowed achieving satisfaction from sexual intercourse and general satisfaction.
According to generalized data, among patients reporting improved erections with sildenafil, there were 59% of patients with diabetes, 43% of patients who underwent radical prostatectomy and 83% of patients with spinal cord injuries (versus 16%, 15% and 12% in the placebo group , respectively).
Indications
Treatment of erectile dysfunction characterized by an inability to achieve or maintain an erection of the penis sufficient for satisfactory intercourse. Sildenafil is effective only with sexual stimulation.

Drug Interaction
Effect of Other Drugs on the Pharmacokinetics of Sildenafil
Sildenafil metabolism occurs mainly by cytochrome CYP3A4 isoenzymes (main pathway), CYP2C9 inhibitors, which can inhibit these inducers, There was a decrease in the clearance of sildenafil with concomitant use of cytochrome CYP3A4 isoenzyme inhibitors (ketoconazole, erythromycin, cimetidine). Cimetidine (800 mg), a nonspecific cytochrome isoenzyme inhibitor of CYP3A4, when co-administered with sildenafil (50 mg), causes a 56% increase in plasma sildenafil concentration. Single administration of 100 mg of sildenafil with erythromycin (500 mg / day 2 times a day for 5 days), a specific cytochrome CYP3A4 isoenzyme inhibitor, on the background of achieving a constant erythromycin concentration in the blood, results in an increase in sildenafil AUC of 182%.
When co-administered with sildenafil (100 mg once) and saquinavir (1200 mg / day 3 times daily), an HIV protease inhibitor and CYP3A4 cytochrome isoenzyme, sildenafil AUC increased by 140% on the background of achieving saquinavir Cmax aild, aUC increased by 210%. Sildenafil has no effect on the pharmacokinetics of saquinavir.
Stronger cytochrome isoenzyme inhibitors of CYP3A4, such as ketoconazole and itraconazole, can also cause more severe changes in the pharmacokinetics of sildenafil.
Concomitant use of sildenafil (100 mg once) and ritonavir (500 mg twice daily), an HIV protease inhibitor and a potent cytochrome P450 inhibitor, on the background of achieving a constant concentration of ritonavir in the blood leads to an increase in Cmax of 300% of sildenafil times), and the AUC is 1000% (11 times). After 24 hours, the concentration of sildenafil in the blood plasma is about 200 ng / ml (after single use of one sildenafil - 5 ng / ml), which is consistent with the information on the pronounced effect of ritonavir on the pharmacokinetics of various cytochrome P450 substrates. Sildenafil has no effect on the pharmacokinetics of ritonavir. The combined use of sildenafil with ritonavir is not recommended. If sildenafil is taken at recommended doses in patients receiving concomitant potent cytochrome CYP3A4 isoenzyme inhibitors, the Cmax of free sildenafil does not exceed 200 nm, and the drug is well tolerated.
Single administration of an antacid (magnesium hydroxide / aluminum hydroxide) does not affect the bioavailability of sildenafil.
CYP2C9 cytochrome isoenzyme inhibitors (tolbutamide, warfarin), CYP2D6 cytochrome isoenzyme (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, tricyclic antidepressants), thiazide and thiazide-like diuretics, inhibitors
Azithromycin (500 mg / day for 3 days) had no effect on AUC, Cmax Tmax, excretion rate constant, and T1 / 2 of sildenafil or its major circulating metabolite.
Effects of sildenafil on other drugs
Sildenafil is a weak inhibitor of cytochrome P450 -1A2, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6 isoenzymes, 2E1 and ZA4 (IR50> 150 μmol). When taking sildenafil at the recommended doses, its Cmax is about 1 μmol, so it is unlikely that sildenafil can affect the clearance of substrates of these isoenzymes.
Sildenafil enhances the antihypertensive effect of nitrates, both with prolonged use and with acute administration. In this regard, the use of sildenafil in combination with nitrates or nitric oxide donors is contraindicated.
With the simultaneous administration of the -adrenoblocker doxazosin (4 mg and 8 mg) and sildenafil (25 mg, 50 mg and 100 mg) in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia with stable hemodynamics, the average additional decrease in systolic / diastolic BP in the supine position 7 / 7 mm Hg. 9/5 mm Hg and 8/4 mm Hg, respectively, and in the standing position - 6/6 mm Hg, 11/4 mm Hg and 4/5 mm Hg, respectively. Rare cases have been reported in such patients of symptomatic postural hypotension, manifested as dizziness (without fainting). In some sensitive patients receiving β-blockers, concomitant administration of sildenafil may lead to symptomatic hypotension.
No significant interaction with tolbutamide (250 mg) or warfarium (40 mg) metabolised by the CYP2C9 cytochrome isoenzyme has been identified.
Sildenafil (100 mg) had no effect on the pharmacokinetics of HIV protease inhibitors, saquinavir and ritonavir, which are substrates of the CYP3A4 cytochrome isoenzyme, at constant levels in the blood. Sildenafil (50 mg) did not cause an additional increase in bleeding time with acetylsalicylic acid (150 mg). Sildenafil (50 mg) does not potentiate the antihypertensive effect of alcohol in healthy volunteers with an average blood alcohol concentration of 0.08% (80 mg / dL).
No signs of interaction of sildenafil (100 mg) with amlodipine were found in patients with hypertension. The average additional reduction in blood pressure in the supine position is 8 mm Hg. (systolic) and 7 mm Hg (diastolic).
The use of sildenafil in combination with antihypertensive agents does not lead to additional side effects.
Overdose
With single administration of Sildenafil at doses up to 800 mg, the adverse events were comparable to those seen at lower doses, but were more common.
Treatment is symptomatic. Hemodialysis does not accelerate the clearance of sildenafil, since the latter actively binds to plasma proteins and is not excreted by the kidneys.

Sildenafil (50 mg) does not potentiate the antihypertensive effect of alcohol in healthy volunteers with an average blood alcohol concentration of 0.08% (80 mg / dL).
No signs of interaction of sildenafil (100 mg) with amlodipine were found in patients with hypertension. The average additional reduction in blood pressure in the supine position is 8 mm Hg. (systolic) and 7 mm Hg (diastolic).
The use of sildenafil in combination with antihypertensive agents does not lead to additional side effects.
Overdose
With single administration of Sildenafil at doses up to 800 mg, the adverse events were comparable to those seen at lower doses, but were more common.
Treatment is symptomatic. Hemodialysis does not accelerate the clearance of sildenafil, since the latter actively binds to plasma proteins and is not excreted by the kidneys.
