Biological Activity

(R)-Avanafil is a strong competitive inhibitor of phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) with a reported in vitro IC50 of 5.2 nM. By suppressing PDE5 enzymatic function, the compound blocks the hydrolysis of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) and enhances nitric oxide/cGMP signaling. The resulting elevation of intracellular cGMP levels downstream promotes vascular smooth muscle relaxation and modulates cellular physiological responses. [1]

FAQ
Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
  • Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
  • Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
  • For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
  • Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
