Target |
sGC[1] |
In Vitro | Riocigua stimulates the recombinant sGC concentration dependently from 0.1 to 100 μM with a two-fold to 73-fold effect by an NO-independent but haem-dependent mechanism[1]. Riociguat inhibits platelet function in washed platelets but not in whole blood, and exerts no direct effects on contractility and relaxation of cardiac myocytes[2]. |
In Vivo | Riociguat (10 mg/kg/d, p.o.) partially reverses the pulmonary arterial hypertension, the right heart hypertrophy and the structural remodelling of the lung vasculature in chronic treatment of hypoxic mice and MCT-injected rats[1]. |
Animal Admin | Mice[1] For chronic intervention studies four groups of mice are used: control mice exposed for 35 days to normoxic gas (n=10); mice exposed for 21 days to hypoxic gas (n=10); mice exposed for 35 days to hypoxic gas and who receives the vehicle (2% methylcellulose solution) from day 21 to day 35 (n=10); and mice exposed for 35 days to hypoxic gas and who receives BAY 63-2521 (10 mg/kg) once a day by oral application (n=10) from day 21 to day 35. For continuous measurement of Prvs and cardiac frequency by radiotelemetry, a separate group of mice is exposed for 35 days to hypoxic gas and receives BAY 63-2521 (10 mg/kg) once a day by oral application from day 21 to day 35. In order to investigate vascular reactivity in isolated mouse lungs, an additional two groups of animals are investigated: control mice (n=12) and animals exposed for 21 days to hypoxic conditions (n=12). Rats[1] Rats are randomised for chronic BAY 63-2521 treatment, 21 days after MCT injection. The experimental groups includes rats that receives BAY 63-2521 (10 mg/kg) or vehicle (2% methylcellulose solution) by oral application, once per day. Rats are examined daily and subjected to haemodynamic measurements and histological assessment at day 35. |
