Cinaciguat (BAY 58-2667) is an experimental drug for the treatment of acute decompensated heart failure.
Mechanism of action
[edit]Cinaciguat activates the soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) which is a receptor for nitric oxide. This increases biosynthesis of cyclic GMP, resulting in vasodilation.[1]
See also
[edit]- Riociguat, another drug stimulating sGC, but with a different mechanism
- PDE5 inhibitors act further downstream in the nitric oxide signalling pathway, reducing cyclic GMP degradation.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
