“…When sexual stimulation causes local release of NO, inhibition of PDE5 by sildenafil, causes increased levels of cGMP in the corpus cavernosum, resulting in smooth muscle relaxation and inflow blood to the corpus cavernosum (Kim et al, 1991;Bush et al, 1992). Few reports have been described for the determination of sildenafil citrate, these include Uv spectrophotometry (Ashok et al, 2010) extractive spectrophotometry based on the formation of ion-pair of sildenafil with bromocresol purple, and brilliant blue (Harikrishna et al, 2008), orange Π and eriochrome black-T (Reddy et al, 2002) bromo-cresol green and chromoxane cyanine R (Dinesh et al, 2002). Spectrophotometric method based either on the formation of yellow chromogen with sodium nitropruside and hydroxylamine or formation of violet colored chromogen with metol and iodine (Rao et al, 2003), sildenafil citrate also determined spectrophotometrically using p-chloranil and accelerated by hydrogen peroxide (Weinert et al, 2008), flow injection analysis (Altiokk et al, 2001), resonance ray lightscattering method (Liu et al, 2006), electro chemistry.…”
