Ataciguat is a nitric oxide-independent soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) activator. Ataciguat activates the oxidized heme iron redox form of sGC to stimulate cGMP production. Ataciguat can be used in research related to heart failure and aortic valve stenosis[1-4].
In vitro, Ataciguat (0.1–10μM) was used to treat HUVEC cells for 30 minutes. Ataciguat significantly increased NO production in the cells[5]. Rat aortic smooth muscle cells were pretreated with H₂O₂ (500μM) for 1 hour, followed by treatment with Ataciguat (10μM) for 15 minutes. Ataciguat significantly increased cGMP production in the cells[6].
In vivo, Ataciguat (10mg/kg; twice daily) was administered by gavage to adult male Wistar rats with chronic myocardial infarction induced by coronary ligation for 10 weeks. Ataciguat significantly improved vascular function and reduced platelet activation[7]. Ataciguat (10mg/kg; once daily) was subcutaneously injected into C57Bl/6J mice with pulmonary arterial hypertension induced by chronic hypoxia for 14 days (from day 21 to day 35 of hypoxia). Ataciguat significantly reduced pulmonary arterial hypertension and right ventricular hypertrophy[8].

| Cell experiment [1]: | |
Cell lines | Rat aortic smooth muscle cells (RASMCs) and COS7 cells |
Preparation Method | RASMCs were pretreated with H₂O₂ (500μM) for 1 hour, then incubated with Ataciguat in the presence of IBMX (1mM) for 15 minutes. |
Reaction Conditions | 10μM; 15 minutes |
Applications | Ataciguat significantly increased cGMP production in cells exposed to oxidative stress. Ataciguat was more effective in stimulating heme-free soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC) compared to the wild-type enzyme. Exposure of cells to Ataciguat did not lead to the development of tolerance. |
| Animal experiment [2]: | |
Animal models | Male Wistar rats |
Preparation Method | Chronic myocardial infarction was induced by coronary ligation in male Wistar rats. Animals were treated with Ataciguat (10mg/kg/twice; daily by gavage) starting from day 10 after surgery for 10 weeks. |
Dosage form | 10mg/kg; oral gavage; twice daily for 10 weeks |
Applications | Ataciguat improved endothelium-dependent vasorelaxation and normalized vascular sensitivity to exogenous NO. Ataciguat reduced aortic superoxide production and increased in vivo platelet VASP phosphorylation. Ataciguat decreased platelet P-selectin surface-expression and attenuated ADP-induced platelet aggregation. |
