Soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) is a key receptor in the mammalian nitric oxide (NO) signaling pathway, which is involved in important physiological processes such as vasodilation, platelet aggregation, and neurotransmission.[1–5] NO directly activates sGC, leading to increased formation of the second messenger cyclic guanosine 3′, 5′-monophosphate (cGMP) from guanosine 5′-triphosphate (GTP), which goes on to mediate the diverse physiological functions noted above.[6] sGC is a heterodimeric hemoprotein; most commonly found as the α1/β1 isoform. The N-terminus of the β1 subunit contains a Heme-Nitric oxide/OXygen binding (H-NOX) domain, a conserved gas-sensing domain found in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.[7–9] The C-termini of the α1 and β1 subunits together form the catalytic domain that is responsible for the Mg2+-dependent conversion of GTP to cGMP. NO activates sGC by binding to the ferrous heme in the H-NOX domain leading to the cleavage of the Fe2+-His bond.[9–11] Ferrous heme is essential for NO-mediated sGC function; NO is a poor ligand for ferric sGC and does not activate the enzyme.[12, 13] sGC is highly resistant to oxidation by molecular oxygen (O2); the inability to form a ferrous-oxy complex certainly contributes to this stability. However, reactive oxygen species can oxidize sGC heme under conditions of oxidative stress, leading to a decreased sensitivity to NO in the diseased tissue.[14–16] This desensitization to NO, results in tolerance to treatments involving NO-donors.[17–19] While the extent of sGC oxidation in vivo is not known, oxidation of sGC under pathological conditions is thought to be an important contributor to the development of cardiovascular disorders and the decrease in effectiveness of treatments involving NO-donors.[17–19] Therefore, sGC has emerged as a promising pharmacological target for the treatment of cardiovascular and pulmonary disorders.[17, 19, 20]Since the emergence of sGC as a therapeutic target for cardiovascular disease, two classes of molecules have been developed: sGC stimulators and sGC activators. sGC stimulators, such as YC-1, the first sGC stimulator discovered, and BAY 41–2272, act directly on native, ferrous sGC.[21–24] In contrast, recently discovered sGC activators, such as BAY 58–2667 (cinaciguat, Figure 1A) and HMR-1766, have effects on both oxidized (ferric) and/or hemefree sGC.[25, 26] Cinaciguat, one such activator, can cause a 200-fold increase in the activity of oxidized and/or apo sGC.[25] Previous studies have shown that cinaciguat binds to the ferrous, ferric and apo states of sGC, but only activates the oxidized or apo forms of the
