Sildenafil is a selective inhibitor of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-specific phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) and is used to treat erectile dysfunction. Danafil (sildenafil) enhances the effect of nitric oxide (NO) by inhibiting phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5), which is responsible for the degradation of cGMP in the cavernous body, leading to smooth muscle relaxation and blood flow to the sponge Body.
