Journal ArticleDOI

NO-independent stimulators and activators of soluble guanylate cyclase: discovery and therapeutic potential

TL;DR: The discovery, biochemistry, pharmacology and clinical potential of haem-dependent sGC stimulators andHaem-independent sGC activators are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

NO-independent regulatory site on soluble guanylate cyclase

TL;DR: A pyrazolopyridine is presented that potently stimulates sGC through this site by a mechanism that is independent of NO, which results in antiplatelet activity, a strong decrease in blood pressure and an increase in survival in a low-NO rat model of hypertension, and may offer an approach for treating cardiovascular diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Soluble Guanylate Cyclase as an Emerging Therapeutic Target in Cardiopulmonary Disease

TL;DR: Soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC), a key enzyme of the nitric oxide (NO) signaling pathway, is attracting rapidly growing interest as a therapeutic target in cardiopulmonary disease, with several sGC agonists currently in clinical development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Targeting the heme-oxidized nitric oxide receptor for selective vasodilatation of diseased blood vessels

TL;DR: It is shown in vivo that oxidative stress and related vascular disease states, including human diabetes mellitus, led to an sGC that was indistinguishable from the in vitro oxidized/heme-free enzyme, and BAY 58-2667 was more effective and potentiated under pathophysiological and oxidative stress conditions.
