Dược Động Học :
▧ Absorption :
Avanafil is rapidly absorbed and does not accumulate following multiple doses.
Tmax = 30 - 45 minutes;
Time to peak response = 10 minutes (20 minutes shorter than sildenafil)
▧ Protein binding :
99% bound to plasma protein. Protein binding is independent of total drug concentrations, age, renal and hepatic function.
▧ Metabolism :
Avanafil is hepatically metabolized primarily by the enzyme, CYP3A4. Two major metabolites are formed, M4 and M16. M4 has 4% of the pharmacologic activity of avanafil. M16 is an inactive metabolite.
▧ Route of Elimination :
After oral administration, avanafil is excreted as metabolites predominantly in the feces (approximately 62% of administered oral dose) and to a lesser extent in the urine (approximately 21% of the administered oral dose).
▧ Half Life :
Mean elimination half-life = 5.36 - 10.66 hours
