摘要: The intracellular nucleotide cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) is found in many human organ tissues. Its concentration increases response to the activation of receptor enzymes called guanylyl cyclases (GCs). Different ligands bind GCs, generating second messenger cGMP, which turn leads a variety biological actions. A deficit or dysfunction this pathway at cardiac, vascular, and renal levels manifests cardiovascular diseases such as heart failure, arterial hypertension, pulmonary hypertension. An impairment cGMP also may be involved pathogenesis obesity well dementia. Therefore, agents enhancing generation for treatment these conditions have been intensively studied. Some already approved, others are currently under investigation. This review discusses potential novel drugs directly indirectly targeting progress research date.
