There is one exact (name or code) match for riociguat

 
Riociguat is a potent, oral stimulator of soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC). It is the first member of a novel class of compounds, being developed by Bayer as an investigational, oral treatment to target a key molecular mechanism underlying pulmonary hypertension (PH). Riociguat demonstrated robust clinical efficacy in two separate PH indications: chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) and pulmonary arterial hypertension(PAH). Riociguat works in two ways: it sensitizes sGC to endogenous NO by stabilizing the NO-sGC binding and directly stimulates sGC via a different binding site, independently of NO. Riociguat stimulates the NO-sGC-cGMP pathway and leads to increased generation of cGMP with subsequent vasodilation. Through this unique way of working, riociguat decreases blood pressure within the pulmonary arteries that take blood from the heart to the lungs, reducing pressure on the heart leading to improved patient outcomes.

Nelociguat, a soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) activator, has been in phase II clinical trials by Bayer for the treatment of erectile dysfunction and heart failure. However, no recent development has been reported. Nelociguat is a direct soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) stimulator that acts independently of nitric oxide (NO); has an EC50 of 353 nM on P-VASP formation in rat aortic smooth muscle cells. BAY 60-4552 is pharmacologically active major metabolite of Riociguat.
