New analogues of Sildenafil (Viagra${\circledR}$)were identified in the imported Chinese herb drinks, which have been added illegally for affecting penile erectile dysfunction. In order to elucidate the chemical structures of Sildenafil analogues, separation and purification were carried out and followed by analysis of the routine 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy and FAB mass spectrometry. Based on analytical data one compound was maned as Homosildenafil contains ethylpiperazine switched with methylpiperazine of Sildenafil and the other one was called an Hongdenafil contains ethylpiperazine switched with methylpiperazine and acetyl group instead of sulfonyl group of Sildenafil. As results, Homosildenafil and Hongdenafil were put on the list as new inspection items of the imported food for protectiong public health in Korea.

Ginseng effectively regulates the immune response and the hormonal changes due to stress, thus maintaining homeostasis. In addition to suppressing the occurrence of psychological diseases such as anxiety and depression, ginseng also prevents stress-associated physiological diseases. Recent findings have revealed that ginseng is involved in adjusting the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis and controlling hormones, thus producing beneficial effects on the heart and brain, and in cases of bone diseases, as well as alleviating erectile dysfunction. Recent studies have highlighted the potential use of ginseng in the prevention and treatment of chronic inflammatory diseases such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and allergic asthma. However, the mechanism underlying the effects of ginseng on these stress-related diseases has not been completely established. In this review, we focus on the disease pathways caused by stress in order to determine how ginseng acts to improve health. Central to our discussion is how this effective and stable therapeutic agent alleviates the anxiety and depression caused by stress and ameliorates inflammatory diseases.

Sildenafil citrate(SC. Viagra(equation omitted)) is the oral treatment for erectile dysfunction. Vardenafil hydrochloride. tadalafil and modified sildenafil have anti-impotent effect and have possibility to be used illegally. The aim of this study was to set up simultaneous determination method of anti-impotent drugs using TLC and HPLC. The anti-impotent drugs were extracted with 50% methanol and then diluted with mobile phase for HPLC and also extracted with developing solvents as sample solutions for TLC. (omitted)

Purpose. External gel formulations of prostaglandin E1 ethyl ester (PGE1-EE), a prod rug of PGE1 as a therapeutic agent for erectile dysfunction, were tried and evaluated by in vitro skin penetration characteristics and in vivo pharmacodynamic effects in cat. Method. The in vitro skin penetration was performed with Franz diffusion cell and examined in aspects of alcohol/polyol ratios and various enhancers. (omitted)

VIAGRATM, an oral therapeutic agent for erectile dysfunction, is the citrate salt of sildenafil. VIAGRATM is formulated as blue, film-coated rounded-dia-mond-shaped tablets, equivalent to 25mg, 50mg and 100mg of sildenafil for oral administration. ViagraTM has been allowed to be sold at the drug store in Korea officially, but it is still increased to sell or use counterfeits or smuggled goods, because of its high price or strict restriction on both sale and purchase. Discrimination and analysis of 13 cases of VIAGRATM tablets for verification of genuineness or counterfeit were requested to our institute on the period, from January 1999 to July 2003. (omitted)

Purpose. To investigate the effect of different terpene enhancers on skin penetrations of prostaglandin El (PGE1) and its ethyl ester (PGE1-EE), a therapeutic agent for erectile dysfunction, external gel systems were formulated with the specific enhancers having different values in their lipophilicity (log P was ranged in 2.23-4.58). Methods. Topical gels containing PGEl (0.5 %) and PGEl-EE (0.1 %) were formulated with ethanol and propylene glycol as a vehicle, selective terpenes as a penetration enhancer, and HPC-H as a thickening agent.

DA-8159 is a new PDEV (Phosphodiesterase V) inhibitor, synthesized by Dong-A Pharm., as an oral agent to treat male erectile dysfunction. To make a selection of the dosage of oral administration in carcinogenic studies, we studied preliminarily the pharmacokinetics of DA-8159 after single (at the 1$\^$st/ day) and 1-week (at the 7$\^$th/ day) oral administrations of the drug at doses of 15, 50 and 150 mg/kg/day, to male ICR mice. In 15mg/kg single and 1-week repeated oral administration groups, the concentrations of DA-8159 and DA-8164(the main metabolite of DA-8159) were below the limit of quantitation(LOQ:50ng/ml).

DA-8159 is a new PDEV inhibitor, synthesized by Dong-A Pharm, as an oral agent to treat male erectile dysfunction. DA-8159 and sildenafil are mainly metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP 3A4. In this study. we compared the metabolism of DA-8159 with sildenafil in vitro and in vivo. First, we quantified the remaining gatio of original compound, DA-8159 and sidenafil., after we incubated drugs for 30 minutes with human liver microsome cytochrome P 450 3A4. (omitted)

DA-8159. a selective inhibitor of phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5: IC$\sub$50/ 5ng/$m\ell$). is being developed as a new treatment for erectile dysfunction. Since DA-8159 has been shown to inhibit PDE6 enzyme (IC$\sub$53ng/$m\ell$). we evaluated the effect of DA-8159 on electroretinogram (ERG) and retinal histopathology in rabbits. The effect of oral DA-8159 (5 to 30mg/kg) on ERG recordings was investigated at pre-treatment. 1 and 5 hrs after administration in rabbits. (omitted)

Any food additive as a chemical synthetic compound. whose criteria and standards are not notified publicly and foods using an food additives containing such a chemical synthetic compound or foods containing it shall not be sold. or manufactured. imported. processed. used. prepared. stored. transported. or displayed for the purpose of sale. Some food manufacturers have illegally added drugs to foods not notifying this. Moreover. structure-modified new drugs could be added. But it is almost impossible to detect these by ordinary laboratory inspection. Thus the study about the identification of analogues of pending drugs is imminent. (omitted)
