We examined the effects of treatment with 1-nitro-2-phenylethane (NP), a novel soluble guanylate cyclase stimulator, on monocrotaline (MCT)-induced PAH in rats. At day 0, male adult rats were injected with a single subcutaneous (s.c.) dose of monocrotaline (60 mg/kg). Control (CNT) rats received an equal volume of monocrotaline's vehicle only (s.c.). Four weeks later, MCT-treated rats were treated orally for 14 days with NP (50 mg/kg/day) (MCT-NP group) or its vehicle (Tween 2%) (MCT-V group). At the end of the treatment period and before invasive hemodynamic study, rats of all experimental groups were examined by echocardiography. With respect to CNT rats, MCT-V rats showed significant; (1) increases in pulmonary artery (PA) diameter, RV free wall thickness and end-diastolic RV area, and increase of Fulton index; (2) decreases in maximum pulmonary flow velocity, PA acceleration time (PAAT), PAAT/time of ejection ratio, and velocity-time integral; (3) increases in estimated mean pulmonary arterial pressure; (4) reduction of maximal relaxation to acetylcholine in aortic rings, and (5) increases in wall thickness of pulmonary arterioles. All these measured parameters were significantly reduced or even abolished by oral treatment with NP. NP reversed endothelial dysfunction and pulmonary vascular remodeling, which in turn reduced ventricular hypertrophy. NP reduced pulmonary artery stiffness, normalized the pulmonary artery diameter and alleviated RV enlargement. Thus, NP may represent a new therapeutic or a complementary approach to treatment of PAH.
