Pulm Circ. 2017 Apr-Jun;7(2):312-325. doi: 10.1177/2045893217710639. Epub 2017 May 30.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a life-threatening disease characterized by a progressive increase in pulmonary vascular resistance, ultimately leading to right heart failure and death. Throughout the past 20 years, numerous specific pharmacologic agents, including phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors, endothelin receptor...

Effects of hydrogen peroxide on voltage-dependent K(+) currents in human cardiac fibroblasts through protein kinase pathways.

The Korean journal of physiology & pharmacology : official journal of the Korean Physiological Society and the Korean Society of Pharmacology

Bae H, Lee D, Kim YW, Choi J, Lee HJ, Kim SW, Kim T, Noh YH, Ko JH, Bang H, Lim I.
PMID: 27162486
Korean J Physiol Pharmacol. 2016 May;20(3):315-24. doi: 10.4196/kjpp.2016.20.3.315. Epub 2016 Apr 26.

Human cardiac fibroblasts (HCFs) have various voltage-dependent K(+) channels (VDKCs) that can induce apoptosis. Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) modulates VDKCs and induces oxidative stress, which is the main contributor to cardiac injury and cardiac remodeling. We investigated whether H2O2 could...

Effects of age and sex on the pharmacokinetics of the soluble guanylate cyclase stimulator riociguat (BAY 63-2521).

Pulmonary circulation

Frey R, Saleh S, Becker C, Mück W.
PMID: 27162629
Pulm Circ. 2016 Mar;6:S58-65. doi: 10.1086/685019.

Riociguat is a soluble guanylate cyclase stimulator approved for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study investigated the pharmacokinetics of riociguat and its metabolite M1 in young (18-45...

The role of nitric oxide in pre-synaptic plasticity and homeostasis.

Frontiers in cellular neuroscience

Hardingham N, Dachtler J, Fox K.
PMID: 24198758
Front Cell Neurosci. 2013 Oct 31;7:190. doi: 10.3389/fncel.2013.00190.

Since the observation that nitric oxide (NO) can act as an intercellular messenger in the brain, the past 25 years have witnessed the steady accumulation of evidence that it acts pre-synaptically at both glutamatergic and GABAergic synapses to alter...

Early Observations on the Use of Riociguat in a Large, Metropolitan Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension/Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension Treatment Center.

Cardiology and therapy

PMID: 26411969
Cardiol Ther. 2015 Dec;4(2):209-18. doi: 10.1007/s40119-015-0046-y. Epub 2015 Sep 28.

INTRODUCTION: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) are rare, life-threatening diseases in which chronically elevated pressure in the pulmonary arteries results in vascular remodeling and right heart failure. Treatment goals are to improve patient functioning,...

Soluble guanylate cyclase redox state under oxidative stress conditions in isolated monkey coronary arteries.

Pharmacol Res Perspect. 2016 Sep 16;4(5):e00261. doi: 10.1002/prp2.261. eCollection 2016 Oct.

Coronary artery disease is associated with oxidative stress due to the excessive generation of free radicals in the vascular wall. This study investigated the impact of tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BuOOH), a peroxyl radical generator, on the redox state of soluble...

Supplementation with Phycocyanobilin, Citrulline, Taurine, and Supranutritional Doses of Folic Acid and Biotin-Potential for Preventing or Slowing the Progression of Diabetic Complications.
