Clear solution
5%DMSO 40%PEG300 5%Tween80 50%ddH2O
4.25mg/ml Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 85 mg/ml clarified DMSO stock solution to 400 μL of PEG300, mix evenly to clarify it; add 50 μL of Tween80 to the above system, mix evenly to clarify; then continue to add 500 μL of ddH2O to adjust the volume to 1 mL. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results. 
Clear solution
5% DMSO 95% Corn oil
0.25mg/ml Taking the 1 mL working solution as an example, add 50 μL of 5 mg/ml clear DMSO stock solution to 950 μL of corn oil and mix evenly. The mixed solution should be used immediately for optimal results. 
* <1 mg/ml means slightly soluble or insoluble.
* Please note that Selleck tests the solubility of all compounds in-house, and the actual solubility may differ slightly from published values. This is normal and is due to slight batch-to-batch variations.
* Room temperature shipping (Stability testing shows this product can be shipped without any cooling measures.)

Biological Activity

Description Riociguat is an oral soluble guanylate cyclase (GC) stimulator, used in the treatment of ipulmonary hypertension.
Targets
guanylate cyclase [1]
In vitro BAY 63-2521 stimulates the recombinant sGC concentration dependently from 0.1 to 100 μM with a two-fold to 73-fold effect by an NO-independent but haem-dependent mechanism. [1] Riociguat inhibits platelet function in washed platelets but not in whole blood, and exerts no direct effects on contractility and relaxation of cardiac myocytes. [2] [3]
In vivo In chronic treatment of hypoxic mice and MCT-injected rats, Riociguat (10 mg/kg/d, p.o.) partially reverses the pulmonary arterial hypertension, the right heart hypertrophy and the structural remodelling of the lung vasculature. [1]

Protocol (from reference)

Animal Study:[1]
  • Animal Models

    Chronic hypoxic mice, and monocrotaline (MCT)-injected rats

  • Dosages

    10 mg/kg

  • Administration

    p.o.
