Sildenafil Viagra

During clinical trials, it was found that it acted as a vasodilator more effectively in the penis than in the heart, resulting in increased erectile function. The drug is now used to treat erectile dysfunction and sexual impotence. 

In the late 1980s, a Pfizer research team in England developed a promising drug for treating angina, a condition characterized by tightness in phase I 

The trials were so successful that, when the trials were complete, patients were reluctant to turn in their unused medication. Some patients even falsely claimed to have flushed leftover pills down the toilet in order to keep the unused medication. Sildenafil was approved by the FDA in early 1997 under the trade name Viagra. Despite competition in the marketplace from other erectile dysfunction drugs, Viagra has been a blockbuster for Pfizer, with a peak sales of nearly US 2 biUion worldwide in 2008 [2].

Very often, drugs are discovered through persistent work and continual optimization and many tests and trials. This is exemplified by the history behind the discovery of sildenafil (Viagra, Pfizer), a drug for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, and the AIDS drug zidovidine (Retrovir, GlaxoSmithKline) (Exhibits 3.18 and 3.19).

The moderately selective PDE type V-inhibitor sildenafil (Viagra ) has been introduced in the treatment of erectile dysfunction. On the basis of cyclic GMP accumulation sildenafil is claimed to be a selective vasodilator in erectile tissues in the penis because of the high concentration of PDE type V in this region. Several of its adverse reactions (headache, flush, hypotension) reflect its vasodilator actions in other vascular beds than that of the penis. The drug will not be further discussed here.
