CD-NP (Cenderitide) is the only chimeric natriuretic peptide that acts on both the A and B natriuretic peptide receptors (NPR). This differential mechanism of action reduces the arterial vasodilating properties, while retaining the cardiac unloading and aldosterone inhibiting actions of the NPR-A re...
