Sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra (Pfizer), is a prescription medicine used for erectile dysfunction. Compounds with chemical structures similar to that of sildenafil were isolated and purified during the analysis of some herbal products marketed for treatment of erectile dysfunction. Structural elucidation using liquid chromatography–diode array detection, infrared spectroscopy, liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy confirmed that…

Detection of a tadalafil analogue as an adulterant in a dietary supplement for erectile dysfunction.
TLDR
This study is the first report in Latin America and one of the few independent studies of an adulteration with an unapproved PDE-5 inhibitor of an herbal product for ED treatment and identifies aminotadalafil, which was detected in a dietary supplement.
Identification of Erectile Dysfunction Drugs in Dietary Supplements by Liquid Chromatography Ion Trap Mass Spectrometry
TLDR
This study develops and validates a quick and reliable method to screen for ED drugs by HPLC coupled with ion trap MS using data dependent scanning function and saves a lot of running time and solvents.

Structural Determination, Biological Function, and Molecular Modelling Studies of Sulfoaildenafil Adulterated in Herbal Dietary Supplement
TLDR
The results revealed that sulfoaildenafil can affect the therapeutic level of nitric oxide through the upregulation of nitrics oxide synthase and phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) gene expressions, which play a key consideration for understanding the mode of actions and predicting the biological activities of PDE5 inhibitors.
