Tadalafil is a phosphodiesterase-5(PDE-5) inhibitor, currently marketed for treating erectile dysfunction, as well as, for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension.These are orally available drugs acting via intracellular signaling pathways, specifically the cyclic nucleotide monophosphate cyclic GMP, represents an important mediator in controlling of the outflow in region (kidney). The use of phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitor-5, tadalafil, is known to restrain the degradation of cyclic GMP, could offers a great opportunities in the treatment of kidney dysfunction associated with diabetes .Which may be assessed by testing for microalbuminuria that mostly precedes the development of overt diabetic nephropathy.
