- Product Overview:
Soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) is the primary cellular receptor for NO. NO binds and activates a heme group in sGC, initiating the conversion of GTP to the second messenger cGMP. cGMP subsequently mediates a number of signaling cascades leading to vasorelaxation and inhibiting smooth muscle proliferation, leukocyte recruitment, and platelet aggregation. Oxidation of the heme results in its dissociation from sGC and an impairment of NO signaling, which has been linked to hypertension, hyperlidemia, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.{26751} Cinaciguat is an activator of sGC that binds to a regulatory site, resulting in activation in an NO-independent manner (Kd = 3.2 nM).{29430} It activates the enzyme even if it has been oxidized or rendered heme deficient.{29430} In animals, cinaciguat has been shown to reduce hypertension, limit cardiomyocyte hypertrophy, protect against ischemia/reperfusion injury, and reduce morbidity and mortality in response to endotoxic shock.{29430,29428,29429,29431}
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
