Lexaria Bioscience Corp. (NASDAQ: LEXX) recently released positive results from an animal study that evaluated DehydraTECH(TM) processing of the phosphodiesterase inhibitor (“PDE5 inhibitor”) sildenafil as potential use in the management of erectile dysfunction. “A clear trend emerged during the course of the study – a faster and higher overall delivery of sildenafil into the bloodstream. During the animal study, it was determined that in as little as four minutes of dosing, the DehydraTECH formulation of sildenafil delivered 74% more of the PDE5 inhibitor into the bloodstream on average than the concentration-matched, generic control formulation. Within seven minutes, the DehydraTECH-sildenafil formulation achieved a higher average blood level than the generic control reached at any point during the study,” reads a recent article. “The most well-known sildenafil product on the market is Viagra(R). The medication is bioavailable orally at approximately 40%, with the most common complaint by consumers that it is slow to act. The findings of Lexaria’s animal study are a first step to developing faster and better acting sildenafil oral formulations.”
