Abstract:
:The hemodynamic effects of a new orally active vasodilator, flosequinan, were compared with placebo (single blind) over 24 h in eight patients with pulmonary hypertension secondary to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Mean pulmonary artery pressure was reduced by 5.1 (3.4, 6.7) mm Hg (mean 95 percent CI) (p < 0.003) and pulmonary vascular resistance was reduced by 70 (23, 189) dynes.s.cm-5 (p < 0.013) by active drug compared with placebo. Cardiac output increased significantly with flosequinan by 0.47 (0.03, 0.91) L/min (p < 0.04) and systemic oxygen delivery increased by 90 (50, 120) ml/min/m2) (p < 0.05). A significant reduction in systemic vascular resistance was observed, 132 (35,230) dynes.s.cm-5 (p < 0.02) but no significant changes were seen in systemic arterial blood pressure or arterial blood gas tensions. Flosequinan favorably altered pulmonary hemodynamics relative to systemic and resulted in a significant improvement in oxygen delivery. The hemodynamic and blood gas effects of this compound suggest that it is a promising vasodilator for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension.
