Over 400 million males suffer from erectile dysfunction (ED) in the world. Currently, phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors such as sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis) and vardenafil (Levitra) are used to treat ED orally and their annual sales are up to 4 billion USD.Although PDE5 inhibitors show a satisfied efficacy in treatment of ED syndrome, the undesired side effects somehow happen after consumption.Therefore, to find the useful methods or dosages for elimination of cardiovascular side effects and sudden death, especially in aged users over 40 years old, becomes a straightforward improvement of PDE5 inhibitors.
