Description:	Cinaciguat is an activator of guanylate cyclase (sGC), and used for acute decompensated heart failure.
In Vivo:	Cinaciguat (10 mg/kg/day, p.o.) treatment in diabetic rats does not influence blood glucose levels, but leads to attenuated water intake. Cinaciguat treatment alleviates diabetes mellitus related oxidative stress, protects against DM related alteration of the NO-sGC-cGMP-PKG signalling, and alleviates DM related myocardium hypertrophy and apoptosis[1]. Cinaciguat (1-10-100 nM) induces concentration-dependent relaxations in strips from both WT and apo-sGC mice, but does not have any effect on phasic activity induced by PGF2α in WT or apo-sGC strips[3].
In Vitro:	Cinaciguat (10 μM) significantly enhances intracellular cGMP generation. Cinaciguat does not dose-dependent effects on cell contraction and calcium transients[2].
Animal Administration:	After confirmation of DM, rats are randomised into four groups: vehicle-treated control, cinaciguat-treated control, vehicle-treated diabetic and cinaciguat-treated diabetic groups. Animals are treated for 8 weeks with 0.5% methylcellulose vehicle or with the sGC activator cinaciguat in suspension p.o. (10 mg/kg/day), starting immeadiately after DM confirmation. Water bottles are filled every morning with the same amount of fresh tap water and daily water intake is measured. Animal cages are handled with care and are not moved after water bottle replacement to prevent spilling of water from the bottles. Body weight of the animals are recorded every 2 days and the dose of cinaciguat is adjusted accordingly.
