Plecanatide

Plecanatide, an analogue of Uroguanylin, is an orally active guanylate cyclase-C (GC-C) receptor agonist. Plecanatide activates GC-C receptors to stimulate cGMP synthesis with an EC50 of 190 nM in T84 cells assay. Plecanatide shows anti-inflammatory activity in models of murine colitis[1][2][3].
