Cenderitide

Cenderitide, a natriuretic peptide (NP) that combines C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) with the C-terminus of Dendroaspis natriuretic peptide (DNP), serves as a potent agonist of the particulate guanylyl cyclase receptor (pGC). By activating both pGC-A and pGC-B receptors, it stimulates the production of the second messenger cGMP, suppresses aldosterone, and maintains glomerular filtration rate (GFR) without affecting blood pressure. This compound is particularly significant in the context of heart failure research, as evidenced by references.
