Description of Sildenafil

Sildenafil is a selective inhibitor of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) with an IC50 value of 5.22nM[1]. By inhibiting PDE5, Sildenafil regulates the NO-cGMP pathway, increasing the cGMP level in the penile corpus cavernosum, causing relaxation of the penile arteries and the smooth muscles of the penile corpus cavernosum, thereby improving the erectile function of patients with erectile dysfunction[2]. Sildenafil has been widely used to regulate hemodynamic balance, reduce arterial resistance and increase venous compliance[3].

In vitro, Sildenafil treatment for 72 hours significantly inhibited the proliferation of HT-29, SW480 and SW620 cells, with IC50 values of 190μM, 217μM and 205μM, respectively[4]. Treatment with 50μM Sildenafil for 72 hours significantly inhibited the proliferation of MDA-MB-231 cells and induced cell apoptosis[5]. Treatment with 100nM sildenafil for 72 hours significantly inhibited the proliferation of hypoxia-induced human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs), and prevented the upregulation of TRPC1 expression as well as the nuclear translocation of NFATc3[6].

In vivo, Sildenafil treatment via intraperitoneal injection at a dose of 15mg/kg/day for 5 days significantly restored the cognitive function of the Alzheimer's disease mouse model without affecting the β-amyloid protein load[7]. Oral administration of 5.7mg/kg dose of Sildenafil daily for 12 weeks significantly inhibited the formation of intestinal polyps and inflammation in mice induced by azoxymethane/dextran sulfate sodium (AOM/DSS) [8].

Protocol of Sildenafil

Cell experiment [1]:

Cell lines

MDA-MB-231 cells

Preparation Method

MDA-MB-231 cells were cultured in RPMI-1640 medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 2% glutamine, 100U/ml penicillin, and 100μg/ml streptomycin at 37°C with 5% CO2 and 95% saturated atmospheric humidity. Cells were seeded into 96-well microplates at a density of 2×104 cells/ml for 24h. Various concentrations of Sildenafil (0, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50μM) were added to each well. After 72h of incubation, cell viability was analyzed.

Reaction Conditions

0, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50μM; 72h

Applications

Sildenafil treatment significantly reduced the cell viability of MDA-MB-231 cells in a dose-dependent manner.
Animal experiment [2]:

Animal models

Balb/c nude mice

Preparation Method

Balb/c nude mice (5 weeks old; 18-20g) were housed under standard laboratory conditions on a 12-hour light/dark cycle (lights on at 7:00 am), constant temperature (23±2°C), and constant humidity. Each mouse was injected subcutaneously with HCT116 cells (3×106 in 200μl of medium) under the shoulder. When the subcutaneous tumors were approximately 0.4×0.4cm2 in size, mice were randomized into two groups and were given orally a vehicle alone (0.9% saline) or Sildenafil (150mg/kg) every two days for 4 weeks. The body weights of mice and the tumor volume were recorded.

Dosage form

150mg/kg; every two days; 4 weeks; i.p.

Applications

Sildenafil treatment significantly inhibited tumor growth in mouse models with HCT116 xenografts without affecting body weight.
