Journal: Soluble Guanylate Cyclase Stimulators and Activators. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 26, 2021 Now, 20 years later, the stimulator of soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC), riociguat, is on the market and is the only drug approved for the treatment of two forms of pulmonary hypertension (PAH/CTEPH), and a variety of other sGC stimulators and sGC activators are in preclinical and clinical development for additional indications...Finally, the clinical developments, investigating the treatment potential of these compounds in various diseases like heart failure, diabetic kidney disease, fibrotic diseases, and hypertension, are reported. In summary, sGC stimulators and sGC activators have a unique mode of action with a broad treatment potential in cardiovascular diseases and beyond.

Expert Opinion: With the recent advancements reported in the patent literature, sGC stimulators might be differentiated due to tissue selectivity or route of application although exhibiting the same molecular mode of action. The indication space of these compounds is potentially very broad and multiple indications in cardiovascular diseases and beyond are under investigation.
