Combination therapy in pulmonary arterial hypertension: recent accomplishments and future challenges.

Pulmonary circulation

Lajoie AC, Bonnet S, Provencher S.
PMID: 28597774
Pulm Circ. 2017 Apr-Jun;7(2):312-325. doi: 10.1177/2045893217710639. Epub 2017 May 30.

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a life-threatening disease characterized by a progressive increase in pulmonary vascular resistance, ultimately leading to right heart failure and death. Throughout the past 20 years, numerous specific pharmacologic agents, including phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors, endothelin receptor...

Sequencing of mutations in the serine/threonine kinase domain of the bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 2 gene causing pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Anatolian journal of cardiology

Mutlu Z, Kayıkçıoğlu M, Nalbantgil S, Vuran Ö, Kemal H, Moğulkoç N, Ertürk B, Onay H, Eroğlu Z, Kültürsay H.
PMID: 26645265

OBJECTIVE: Germline mutations in the bone morphogenetic protein receptor type-2 (BMPR2) gene are considered to be a major risk factor for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). BMPR2 mutations have been reported in 10%-20% of idiopathic PAH and in 80% of...

Early Observations on the Use of Riociguat in a Large, Metropolitan Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension/Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension Treatment Center.

Cardiology and therapy

Sulica R, Fenton R, Cefali F.
PMID: 26411969
Cardiol Ther. 2015 Dec;4(2):209-18. doi: 10.1007/s40119-015-0046-y. Epub 2015 Sep 28.

INTRODUCTION: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) are rare, life-threatening diseases in which chronically elevated pressure in the pulmonary arteries results in vascular remodeling and right heart failure. Treatment goals are to improve patient functioning,...

Endothelin-receptor antagonists: current and future perspectives.

Drug discovery today

Ray A, Hegde LG, Chugh A, Gupta JB.
PMID: 11018597
Drug Discov Today. 2000 Oct 01;5(10):455-464. doi: 10.1016/s1359-6446(00)01557-9.

Despite much effort over recent years to design and develop endothelin-receptor antagonists, these compounds are far from becoming new drug entities. This article will review preclinical data on select endothelin-receptor antagonists as well as clinical data on bosentan, the...

Endothelin receptors as novel targets in tumor therapy.

Journal of translational medicine

Bagnato A, Natali PG.
PMID: 15165288
J Transl Med. 2004 May 27;2(1):16. doi: 10.1186/1479-5876-2-16.

The endotelin (ET) axis, that includes ET-1, ET-2, ET-3, and the ET receptors, ETA and ETB, plays an important physiological role, as modulator of vasomotor tone, tissue differentiation and development, cell proliferation, and hormone production. Recently, investigations into the...

Cardiopulmonary indications for endothelin receptor antagonists: review of recent efficacy trials.

Expert opinion on investigational drugs

Haleen SJ, Cheng XM.
PMID: 15989614
Expert Opin Investig Drugs. 1997 May;6(5):475-87. doi: 10.1517/13543784.6.5.475.

Recent clinical and experimental animal trials indicate that endogenously produced endothelin-1 (ET-1) contributes to the abnormal systemic and pulmonary vascular resistance associated with congestive heart failure (CHF) and pulmonary hypertension (PH). In experimental CHF, the chronic blockade of ET-1...

Anaesthesia management for pulmonary endarterectomy.

Current opinion in anaesthesiology

Demeyere R, Delcroix M, Daenen W.
PMID: 16534319
Curr Opin Anaesthesiol. 2005 Feb;18(1):63-76. doi: 10.1097/00001503-200502000-00011.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Options for the surgical treatment of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension are either lung transplantation or pulmonary endarterectomy. Pulmonary endarterectomy is considered permanently curative and the treatment of choice. The procedure dramatically improves functional status and provides...

Synthetic approaches to endothelin receptor antagonists in clinical development.

Current opinion in drug discovery & development

Clark WM.
PMID: 19649828
Curr Opin Drug Discov Devel. 1999 Nov;2(6):565-77.

The increasing structural and stereochemical complexity of new drug candidates continues to pose numerous synthetic challenges for pharmaceutical process development. Often the implementation of new methodologies, and/or the novel utilization of existing methodologies becomes an essential aspect of developing...

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension: Medical treatment.

Pulmonary circulation

Ozsu S, Cinarka H.
PMID: 24015333
Pulm Circ. 2013 Apr;3(2):341-4. doi: 10.4103/2045-8932.114761.

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is responsible for significant levels of morbidity and mortality. The estimated cumulative incidence of CTEPH is 2-4% among patients presenting with acute pulmonary thromboembolism. Currently, at the time of CTEPH diagnosis, 37.9% of the...

Endothelin Receptor Antagonists for the Treatment of Raynaud's Phenomenon and Digital Ulcers in Systemic Sclerosis.

International journal of rheumatology

Arefiev K, Fiorentino DF, Chung L.
PMID: 22121371
Int J Rheumatol. 2011;2011:201787. doi: 10.1155/2011/201787. Epub 2011 Oct 27.

Systemic sclerosis is a connective tissue disease characterized by fibrosis of the skin, internal organs, and widespread vasculopathy.
