Tadalafil derivatives
A tadalafil derivative is a chemically modified version of the base tadalafil molecule to circumvent patent issues and for other purposes, such as improved solubility; it is also called a sildenafil analog in this industry. Sildenafil derivatives are PDE5 inhibitors like tadalafil; other PDE5 inhibitor medicines include sildenafil mesylate, tadalafil, avanafil, water-soluble tadalafil, alcohol-soluble tadalafil, tadalafil derivatives, undetected sildenafil analogs like Jinyangjian, Xinyangjian, Huanyangjian, 520, SX, and vardenafil HCl. Plant PDE inhibitors like epimedium extract, Ginseng extract, and Kaempferia parviflora.
PDE5 inhibitors, such as sildenafil derivatives, could be combined with dapoxetine. Dapoxetine is not a PDE5 inhibitor; it is the only oral medicine for premature ejaculation and belongs to the class of SSRI inhibitors (Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors).

3: Cooperation advantages about us
We have focused on PDE5 inhibitors since 2011 and have solid expertise in this area. We are glad to develop exclusive customized products to support you and achieve win-win cooperation.
With over 10 years of experience, we have completed more than 120 clinical trials covering over 16,000 participants and provided reliable supply services to clients from more than 10 countries.
3.1 Factory Production Control Introduction

Our modern factory meets cGMP, ISO22000, and FSSC22000 standards. All production lines are separated from sensitive chemicals and follow the latest 2026 GMP Class D cleanroom rules.
Our internal standards are stricter than USP43 and EP10. Every batch goes through three high-precision molecular sieve filters to remove unknown analogues and residues.
We use LC-MS/MS testing equipment to control genotoxic impurities and solvent residues like ethanol, methanol, and ethyl acetate. All test results stay below detection limits, providing pure and safe products for export and registration.
3.2 Lab and Quality Control System

We specialize in quality control for APIs and adopt a dual inspection system: in-house laboratory testing plus independent third-party testing.
Our in-house lab is fully equipped to conduct comprehensive tests, including HPLC, MS, GC, GC-MS, LCMS-ELSD, HPLC-ELSD, chirality tests, and nuclear magnetic resonance testing. Every batch undergoes full internal testing before shipment.
We also cooperate with three authoritative third-party labs, namely WuXi AppTec, Pony Testing, and Merieux. Objective and compliant test reports are provided to support clients’ global registration and sales.
3.3 Quality control of every batch(Below is an HPLC test report of tadalafil just for you referrence).

Every batch of products undergoes full HPLC quality testing, with stable and controllable test results. We can provide complete original test report images for you before you place an order, not COAs, since COAs can be modified. You can trace every step of our product quality.
3.4 We own a complete industrial chain covering intermediates, APIs, formula development, and finished products.
3.4.1 We work with tablet OEM clients. We can customize formulas and coating colors together.
3.4.2 Our mainstream hard capsules are size 00 and 0. We use high-speed automatic production machines.

We do not suggest mixing PDE5 active ingredients especial tadalafil derivatives.
We also do not suggest mixing PDE5 active ingredients like sildenafil citrate, Sildenafil Mesylate, avanafil, tadalafil, water-soluble tadalafil, alcohol-soluble tadalafil, tadalafil derivatives, undetected sildenafil analogs like Jinyangjian, Xinyangjian, 520, SX, and vardenafil HCl. But it is good combined with herbal PDE5 inhibitors like epimedium extract, Ginseng extract, and Kaempferia parviflora.
The best match is tadalafil or tadalafil derivatives\ plus dapoxetine. Formulas added with plant extracts also perform well.
3.5 We are well-versed in relevant laws, regulations, and customs policies worldwide.
We specialize in the men’s PDE5 inhibitor area, and we are familiar with local regulations and patents.
The clients should follow their local laws. Based on clients’ demands and local policies, we can develop derivative products and undetectable PDE5 inhibitors.
We also provide product registration services for our clients.
4: In our opinion, PDE5 inhibitors belong to a niche market. Their patents are expiring one after another, yet these pharmaceutical products must still be sold in compliance with local laws and regulations. We are looking for professional partners in this field. If you don’t have relevant experience yet, partnering with us will make you an expert in this industry.
