Benzamidenafil or xanthoanthrafil is a synthetic drug that acts as a PDE5 inhibitor. It has the same mechanism of action as pharmaceutical drugs used to treat erectile dysfunction,[1] but it is not approved by any regulatory agency for such use.

The drug has been found as an undeclared adulterant in supposedly "natural" health supplements.[1] In 2009, the supplement manufacturer Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals recalled its product Stamina-Rx because it was adulterated with benzamidenafil.[2]
