BAY 41-2272 has been used for the stimulation of guanylate cyclase in heart[1] and neurons.[2]
Biochem/physiol Actions
BAY 41-2272 is an activator of soluble guanylate cyclase at a novel, NO-independent regulatory site. BAY 41-2272 is the first product that stimulates sGC through a non-NO mechanism. BAY 41-2272 inhibits platelet aggregation and induces vasorelaxation without nitrate tolerance.

Sepsis and septic shock are associated with high mortality rates and the majority of sepsis patients die due to complications of multiple organ failure (MOF). The cyclic GMP (cGMP) producing enzyme soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) is crucially involved in the
Although evidence now suggests cGMP is a negative regulator of cardiac hypertrophy, the direct consequences of the soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC) activator BAY 58-2667 on cardiac remodeling, independent of changes in hemodynamic load, has not been investigated. In the present

Hypoxia or hypoxia/reoxygenation impairs nitric oxide (NO)-mediated relaxation through the increase in superoxide generation in monkey coronary arteries. Soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC), the target enzyme of NO, has been shown to change from the NO-sensitive reduced form to the NO-insensitive
In the hippocampus, as in many other CNS areas, nitric oxide (NO) participates in synaptic plasticity, manifested as changes in pre- and/or postsynaptic function. While it is known that these changes are brought about by cGMP following activation of guanylyl
