Tadalafil (IC-351) is a carboline-based compound with vasodilatory activity that selectively inhibits the cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-specific type 5 phosphodiesterase (PDE-5), preventing cGMP degradation in the smooth muscle of the corpus cavernosa and corpus spongiosum of the penis, thereby causing prolonged muscle relaxation, vasodilation, and enhanced penile erection.

Tadalafil (Standard) is the standard substance of Tadalafil, and it is applicable for quantitative analysis, quality control, and related research in biochemical experiments. Tadalafil (IC-351) is a carboline-based compound with vasodilatory activity. Tadalafil selectively inhibits the cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-specific type 5 phosphodiesterase- (PDE-5)-mediated degradation of cGMP, which is found in the smooth muscle of the corpus cavernosa and corpus spongiosum of the penis. Inhibition of cGMP degradation by tadalafil results in prolonged muscle relaxation, vasodilation, and blood engorgement of the corpus cavernosa, and, so, prolonged penile erection.
