Soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) is the primary cellular receptor for nitric oxide (NO). NO binds and activates a heme group in sGC, initiating the conversion of GTP to the second messenger cyclic GMP (cGMP). BAY 41-8543 is a heme-dependent stimulator of sGC, increasing the activity of recombinant sGC dose-dependently, from 0.1 nM to 100 μM, up to 92-fold. Surprisingly, NO donors synergize with BAY 41-8543 in stimulating recombinant sGC. BAY 41-8543 relaxes vessels and inhibits platelet aggregation in vitro at nM concentrations. In vivo, BAY 41-8543 decreases blood pressure dose-dependently,...
