Definitions

  • the present application relates to novel heterocyclyl and heteroaryl-substituted imidazo [l, 2 a] pyridines, processes for their preparation, their use alone or in combinations for the treatment and / or prophylaxis of diseases and their use for the preparation of medicaments for the treatment and / or prophylaxis of diseases, in particular for the treatment and / or prophylaxis of cardiovascular diseases.

  • NO nitric oxide
  • GTP guanosine triphosphate
  • the soluble guanylate cyclases consist of two subunits and most likely contain one heme per heterodimer, which is part of the regulatory center. This is central to the activation mechanism. NO can bind to the iron atom of the heme and thus significantly increase the activity of the enzyme. On the other hand, heme-free preparations can not be stimulated by NO. Carbon monoxide (CO) is also able to bind to the central iron atom of the heme, with stimulation by CO being markedly lower than by NO.
  • CO Carbon monoxide
