Solubility in water
White to off-white crystalline powder; solubility in water: 3.5 mg/mL (sildenafil citrate)[1]
log P
log Kow = 2.75[1]

Each value as its source reports it, with the source's number after it (listed under References). Where several sources report a property, the row shows the value most of them agree on, the rule the app uses; open the values to see every one.

Each peak is a nominal mass with its abundance-weighted exact mass, as a percentage of the tallest, from IUPAC natural isotope abundances.

Computed from the structure with RDKit 2026.09 when this page was built, beside PubChem's own computed values from its record; where the two differ, both are shown.

Drug-likeness: Lipinski’s rule of five

  • Molecular weight ≤ 500: 474.59
  • log P ≤ 5 (Crippen): 1.61
  • H-bond donors ≤ 5: 1
  • H-bond acceptors ≤ 10: 7

Passes all four rules.

Storage

  • Sildenafil powder for oral suspension should be stored below 30 °C in its original package to protect the drug from moisture. Reconstituted sildenafil oral suspension should be stored below 30 °C or in a refrigerator at 2-8 °C; the suspension should not be frozen.[1]
  • Commercially available sildenafil citrate injection should be stored at 20-25 °C, but may be exposed to temperatures ranging from 15-30 °C.[1]
  • Commercially available sildenafil citrate tablets should be stored at 25 °C, but may be exposed to 15-30 °C.[1]
  • Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. (sildenafil citrate)[1]
