What is Tadalafil?
Tadalafil is a long-acting, highly selective PDE5 inhibitor with a T½ of approximately 17.5 hours — markedly longer than sildenafil (~4h). High PDE5/PDE6 selectivity ratio minimises visual side effects. Research tool for PDE5 pharmacology, BPH research (PDE5 expression in prostate), erectile physiology, and long-duration cGMP studies. Research use only.
Research Applications
