Riociguat is a novel therapy that stimulates sGC, an enzyme in the cardiopulmonary system and the receptor for nitric oxide (NO). Preclinical data has shown evidence that riociguat can result in improved function of the CFTR protein as a chloride channel, moving salt and fluids in and out of cells.
