Vardenafil (Vivanza) is an oral therapy for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. It is a selective inhibitor of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-specific phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5). Penile erection is a hemodynamic process initiated by the relaxation of smooth muscle in the corpus cavernosum and its associated arterioles. During sexual stimulation, nitric oxide is released from nerve endings and endothelial cells in the corpus cavernosum. Nitric oxide activates the enzyme guanylate cyclase resulting in increased synthesis of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) in the smooth muscle cells of the corpus cavernosum. The cGMP in turn triggers smooth muscle relaxation, allowing increased blood flow into the penis, resulting in erection. The tissue concentration of cGMP is regulated by both the rates of synthesis and degradation via phosphodiesterases (PDEs). The most abundant PDE in the human corpus cavernosum is the cGMPspecific phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5); therefore, the inhibition of PDE5 enhances erectile function by increasing the amount of cGMP.

Progesterone (Pregn-4-ene-3,20-dione) is the major progestational steroid that is secreted primarily by the CORPUS LUTEUM and the PLACENTA. Progesterone acts on the UTERUS, the MAMMARY GLANDS and the BRAIN. It is required in EMBRYO IMPLANTATION; PREGNANCY maintenance, and the development of mammary tissue for MILK production.

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.

Avanafil (TA1790) is a selective inhibitor of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) and is used as therapy of erectile dysfunction.

Dinoprost (Prostaglandin F2a) is a naturally occurring prostaglandin. It is used in medicine to induce labor and as an abortifacient.

MRS-1706 has Ki values of 1.39, 112, 157, and 230 nM for human A2B, A2A, A1, and A3 receptors respectively. MRS-1706 is an effective and selective adenosine A2B receptor inverse agonist.

LASSBio-1359 is an adenosine receptor agonist. It acts by inducing relaxation of the corpus cavernosum. It also acts as a novel selective phosphodiesterase.

CGP 56999A is an antagonist of GABA(B) receptor, it enhances expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor and attenuates dopamine depletion in the rat corpus striatum.

Z 300 is a histamine H2-receptor antagonist. Z 300 inhibits acid secretion and promotes gastric mucus metabolism in the corpus region.

Prostaglandin F1α (PGF1α) is the putative metabolite of dihomo-γ-linolenic acid (DGLA) via the cyclooxygenase (COX) pathway. Both PGF1α and PGF2α have been shown to act as priming pheromones for male Atlantic salmon with a threshold concentration of 10-11 M. [1] PGF1α binds to the ovine corpus luteum FP receptor at only 8% of the relative potency of PGF2α. [2] It is only half as active as PGF2α in inducing human respiratory smooth muscle contractions in vitro. [3]

Dinoprost tromethamine salt (PGF2α THAM) is a naturally occurring prostaglandin used in medicine to induce labor and as an abortifacient.

1. Spinosin (Flavoayamenin) ameliorated memory impairment induced through AβO, the serotonergic neurotransmitter system, and these effects were regulated, in part, through neuroprotective activity via the anti-inflammatory effects of Spinosin. 2. Spinosin exerts anxiolytic-like effects, and its mechanism of action appears to be modulated by GABAA and 5-HT1A receptors. 3. There was a wide brain regional tissue distribution of Spinosin. The concentrations of Spinosin in corpus striatum and hippocampus were higher than that in other areas.

Tadalafil-d3 is a deuterated compound of Tadalafil. Tadalafil has a CAS number of 171596-29-5. Tadalafil 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.

Tadalafil-13C-d3 the 13C and deuterated compound of Tadalafil. Tadalafil has a CAS number of 171596-29-5. Tadalafil 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.

Vardenafil-d5 is a deuterated compound of Vardenafil. Vardenafil has a CAS number of 224785-90-4. Vardenafil (Levitra) is an oral therapy for the treatment of erectile dysfunction.

Isocupressic acid ((+)-Isocupressic acid) is an abortifacient isolated from pine needles and bark that blocks progesterone production in bovine corpus luteum cells.
