Description:

Sildenafil Citrate [Cas No. 171599-83-0] is a very powerful and selective PDE5 inhibitor which is mainly used to treat erectile dysfunction and pulmonary arterial hypertension [PAH]. Sildenafil Citrate has rapid onset of action, high safety and high efficacy which makes it a key component for oral formulations. It enhances the natural effect of nitric oxide [NO] by inhibiting cGMP specific phosphodiesterase type 5 [PDE5], an enzyme which is responsible for breaking cGMP. cGMP is a molecule which helps to smoothen the muscle relaxation and increases blood flow, thus by increasing cGMP level Sildenafil Citrate improve vascular relaxation and support good blood flow to the body tissues.

Product Specifications

Sildenafil Citrate API should be handled according to standard pharmaceutical material safety and industrial hygiene procedures. Appropriate protective measures must be followed during handling and processing of the urology active pharmaceutical ingredient in GMP manufacturing environments.

  • Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE)

  • Avoid inhalation of powder and contact with skin or eyes

  • Handle in controlled pharmaceutical manufacturing areas

  • Follow GMP material handling procedures

  • Refer to Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed safety guidance

This API is intended exclusively for pharmaceutical manufacturing and formulation use.

Mechanism of Actions

Sildenafil Citrate is a phosphodiesterase type-5 (PDE5) inhibitor that prevents the breakdown of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) in smooth muscle cells. Elevated cGMP levels promote smooth muscle relaxation and vasodilation in the corpus cavernosum and pulmonary vasculature, enhancing blood flow. This mechanism supports its therapeutic use in erectile dysfunction and pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Safety Precautions

  • Handle in approved pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities

  • Avoid exposure without protective equipment

  • Prevent dust generation and inhalation

  • Follow GMP containment procedures

  • Dispose according to regulatory guidelines

Storage

  • Store in tightly closed containers

  • Protect from moisture and light

  • Maintain controlled room temperature

  • Keep in designated API storage areas

  • Follow GMP warehouse practices
