    Abstract Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare fatal disease. Current disease-specific therapeutic interventions in PAH target 1 of 3 established pathways in disease pathobiology: prostacyclin, nitric oxide, and endothelin-1. Endothelin receptor antagonists (ERAs) act on the endothelin pathway by blocking binding of endothelin-1 to its receptors (endothelin type-A [ET(A)] and/or type-B [ET(B)]) on the surface of endothelial and smooth muscle cells. Ambrisentan is an oral, once-daily, ET(A)-selective ERA in development for the treatment of PAH. In Phase 3 clinical trials in patients with PAH, ambrisentan (2.5-10 mg orally once-daily) improved exercise capacity, Borg dyspnea index, time to clinical worsening, WHO functional class, and quality of life compared with placebo. Ambrisentan provided durable (at least 2 years) improvement in exercise capacity in a Phase 2 long-term extension study. Ambrisentan was well tolerated with a lower incidence and severity of liver function test abnormalities compared with the ET(A)/ET(B) ERA, bosentan, and the ET(A)-selective ERA, sitaxsentan. Ambrisentan does not induce or inhibit P450 enzymes; therefore, ambrisentan is unlikely to affect the pharmacokinetics of P450-metabolized drugs. The demonstration of clinical efficacy, low incidence of acute hepatic toxicity, and low risk of drug-drug interactions support the role of ambrisentan for the treatment of PAH.

    Abstract Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a progressive, life-threatening condition. Sitaxsentan, a selective endothelin-A receptor antagonist, is an effective, safe and well-tolerated endothelin receptor antagonist for the treatment of PAH in adult patients. Multi-center, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trials have demonstrated that sitaxsentan has beneficial effects on exercise capacity (i.e., 6-min walk distance), functional class and hemodynamic parameters in PAH patients. Sitaxsentan has a low incidence of acute hepatotoxicity. Patients on concomitant warfarin require a decrease in warfarin dose to maintain a therapeutic international normalized ratio. The demonstration of clinical efficacy and low incidence of acute hepatotoxicity support the potential use of sitaxsentan for the treatment of PAH.

    Abstract Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) with increased pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), previously termed pulmonary vascular obstructive disease or pulmonary vascular disease is a frequent complication of congenital heart disease (CHD).While there have been advances in the medical treatments available for classic Eisenmenger syndrome patients who are not suitable for repair, the sub-group of patients with moderate sized congenital systemic to pulmonary shunts and mild to moderately elevated PVR remains challenging. With the development of targeted medical treatments for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), the concept of a combined medical and interventional/surgical approach for patients with PAH associated with CHD (APAH-CHD) has emerged. Careful evaluation and an understanding of the predominant physiologic features will help guide the management of these complex patients and whether late surgical repair is feasible.

    Abstract The pathobiology of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) includes endothelial cell dysfunction and proliferation and migration of VSMCs. As PDGF has been implicated in these processes, Schermuly et al. hypothesized that altered PDGF signaling may be involved in the vascular remodeling observed in PAH. To explore this notion further, the authors evaluated the effects of the PDGF receptor inhibitor STI571 in 2 different animal models of pulmonary hypertension. In both models, after development of pulmonary vascular disease, administration of STI571 reversed pulmonary vascular changes. These studies provide preclinical proof of concept for the clinical development of a PDGF inhibitor as a targeted therapy for PAH patients.
