Cinaciguat acts specifically on oxidized/haem-free soluble guanylyl cyclase by binding to the enzyme's haem pocket and mimicking the nitric-oxide-bound haem group. It is in clinical development for the treatment of acute decompensated heart failure. Cinaciguat had been in phase II clinical trials. However, trials were terminated early because of an excess of hypotension in the cinaciguat arms and subsequent slow enrolment.
