Runcaciguat
Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar
Runcaciguat (BAY 1101042) is a selective, orally active, allosteric activator of soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC) that specifically targets its oxidized and heme-free form. Runcaciguat binds to sGC in a histidine-dependent manner and restores cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) production under oxidative stress, independent of nitric oxide (NO) or heme. Runcaciguat exhibits renoprotective and cardioprotective activities, such as reduced proteinuria and improved renal function. Runcaciguat is primarily being studied in chronic kidney disease (CKD) associated with hypertension, diabetes, and metabolic disorders, as well as potential cardiovascular indications such as heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF).

Biological Activity

sGC |
Runcaciguat (100 pM-10 μM; 10 min) activates wild-type soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC, EC50=789 nM) in HEK293 cells, but inactive against the β1H105A/F mutant, confirming that its activation is dependent on the histidine 105 residue of the β1 subunit[1].

Animal Model:Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats (male, ~260 g, 12 weeks) with ANG II-induced hypertensive nephropathy model[2]
-
Dosage:0.3, 1, 3 mg/kg
-
Administration:Oral gavage, bid, 2 weeks
-
Result:Reduced proteinuria (uPCR) by 30%-50% compared to vehicle, decreased renal injury markers (NGAL, KIM-1, OPN gene expression), and improved creatinine clearance without significant blood pressure reduction.
-
Animal Model:RenTG rats (male, 8 weeks) with L-NAME-supplemented hypertensive CKD model[2]
-
Dosage:3, 10 mg/kg
-
Administration:Oral gavage, bid, 8 weeks
-
Result:Increased survival rate (from 42% to 61%-72%), reduced left ventricular hypertrophy (LVW/BW ratio ↓14%-17%), and decreased proteinuria (uPCR ↓54%-70%) with improved creatinine clearance.
-
Animal Model:ZDF rats (male, 22 weeks) with diabetic CKD model[2]
-
Dosage:140 ppm (equivalent to 3 mg/kg bid; mixed in food)
-
Administration:Dietary admixture, daily, 42 weeks
-
Result:Reduced proteinuria (uPCR ↓54% at 3 mg/kg equivalent), improved renal histopathology (tubular degeneration and glomerulopathy grades ↓1-2), and decreased plasma markers of injury (OPN, cystatin C). HbA1c, triglycerides, and cholesterol were also reduced by 8%-76%, suggesting metabolic benefits.
