Comment: Praliciguat (IW-1973) is a potent, orally available soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC) stimulator [3]. sGC stimulators/activators have potential as heart failure therapeutics [1]. Praliciguat exhibits anti-hypertensive, reno-protective, anti-fibrotic effects and anti-inflammatory activities. Effects observed in renal fibrosis models suggests potential for the treatment of diabetic nephropathy.
![]() Ligand Activity Visualisation ChartsThese are box plot that provide a unique visualisation, summarising all the activity data for a ligand taken from ChEMBL and GtoPdb across multiple targets and species. Click on a plot to see the median, interquartile range, low and high data points. A value of zero indicates that no data are available. A separate chart is created for each target, and where possible the algorithm tries to merge ChEMBL and GtoPdb targets by matching them on name and UniProt accession, for each available species. However, please note that inconsistency in naming of targets may lead to data for the same target being reported across multiple charts. ✖ |
