Abstract
A first-in-class guanylate cyclase-C agonist, linaclotide (Linzess—Forest, Ironwood), has been approved to treat irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) and chronic idiopathic constipation (CIC) in adults. Linaclotide, which is minimally absorbed, acts locally in the intestine to increase both intracellular and extracellular concentrations of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP).
