Avanafil is highly selective toward PDE5 and against all other PDE isozymes tested. Lower selectivity against PDE1, PDE6, and PDE11 is consistent with results from randomized, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trials in which musculoskeletal and hemodynamic adverse events were reported in <2% of patients and no color vision-related abnormalities were reported with avanafil doses up to 200mg once daily . Intraduodenal doses of avanafil or sildenafil (0.1 and 1 mg/kg) potentiated the AUC of nitroglycerin induced hypotension. However, the potentiating effect of avanafil at 1 mg/kg was significantly weaker than that of sildenafil (p <0.05) |
