Embodiments of the invention are directed to new equatorially modified polymer linked multimers of guanosine-3′, 5′-cyclic monophosphate (cGMP) analogues that inhibit the cGMP-signaling system. The invention is also directed to related monomeric compounds, which may serve as monomeric precursors of the multimers, and/or also show itself inhibitory activity and/or impact the inhibitory activity of the related multimers. The invention further relates to the use of such compounds as reagents for signal transduction research and as modulators of cyclic nucleotide-regulated binding proteins and isoenzymes thereof, and as ligands for affinity chromatography, for antibody production or for diagnostic applications, e.g., on chip surfaces. |
