Abstract
This document provides methods and materials involved in treating cardiovascular conditions such as calcific aortic valve stenosis. For example, methods and materials for using sGC agonists or a combination of sGC agonists and PDE5A inhibitors to reduce calcification of heart valves and/or vessels or to slow progression of aortic sclerosis to calcific aortic valve stenosis are provided.
Claims24
A method for slowing progression of calcification of a heart valve, wherein said method comprises:
- (a) identifying a mammal having heart valve calcification, and
- (b) administering a sGC agonist to said mammal as the sole active ingredient for slowing said progression, wherein said sGC agonist is administered in the amount ranging from 50 mg/day to 200 mg/day to said mammal, wherein said sGC agonist slows progression of calcification of a heart valve within said mammal, and wherein the sGC agonist is BAY 58-2667 (4-[((4-Carboxybutyl) {2-[(4-phenethylbenzyl)oxy]phenethyl}amino)methyl [benzoic]acid hydrochloride), BAY 41-2272 (3-(4-Amino-5-cyclopropylpyrimidin-2-yl)-1-(2-fluorobenzyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine), BAY-41-8543 (2-[1-[(2-fluorophenyl)methyl]-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-3-yl]-5-(4-morpholinyl)-4,6-pyrimidinediamine), or BAY 63-2521 (methyl (4,6-diamino-2-(1-(2-fluorobenzyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-3-yl)pyrimidin-5-yl)(methyl)carbamate).
A method for slowing progression of aortic valve sclerosis to calcific aortic valve stenosis, wherein said method comprises:
- (a) identifying a mammal having aortic valve sclerosis, and
- (b) administering a sGC agonist to said mammal as the sole active ingredient for slowing said progression, wherein said sGC agonist is administered in the amount ranging from 50 mg/day to 200 mg/day to said mammal, wherein said sGC agonist slows progression of aortic valve sclerosis to calcific aortic valve stenosis within said mammal, and wherein the sGC agonist is BAY 58-2667 (4-[((4-Carboxybutyl) 2-[(4-phenethylbenzyl)oxy]phenethyl}amino)methyl[benzoic]acid hydrochloride), BAY 41-2272 (3-(4-Amino-5-cyclopropylpyrimidin-2-yl)-1-(2-fluorobenzyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine), BAY-41-8543 (2-[1-[(2-fluorophenyl)methyl]-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-3-yl]-5-(4-morpholinyl)-4,6-pyrimidinediamine), or BAY 63-2521 (methyl (4,6-diamino-2-(1-(2-fluorobenzyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine-3-yl)pyrimidin-5-yl)(methyl)carbamate).
A method for slowing progression of calcification of a heart valve, wherein said method comprises administering, as the sole active ingredient for slowing said progression, a sGC agonist to a mammal identified as having heart valve calcification, wherein said sGC agonist is administered in the amount ranging from 50 mg/day to 200 mg/day to said mammal, wherein said sGC agonist slows progression of calcification of a heart valve within said mammal, and wherein the sGC agonist is BAY 58-2667 (4-[((4-Carboxybutyl){2-[(4-phenethylbenzyl)oxy]phenethyl}amino)methyl[benzoic]acid hydrochloride), BAY 41-2272 (3-(4-Amino-5-cyclopropylpyrimidin-2-yl)-1-(2-fluorobenzyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine), BAY-41-8543 (2-[1-[(2-fluorophenyl)methyl]-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-3-yl]-5-(4-morpholinyl)-4,6-pyrimidinediamine), or BAY 63-2521 (methyl (4,6-diamino-2-(1-(2-fluorobenzyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-3-yl)pyrimidin-5-yl)(methyl)carbamate).
A method for slowing progression of aortic valve sclerosis to calcific aortic valve stenosis, wherein said method comprises administering, as the sole active ingredient for slowing said progression, a sGC agonist to a mammal identified as having aortic valve sclerosis, wherein said sGC agonist is administered in the amount ranging from 50 mg/day to 200 mg/day to said mammal, wherein said sGC agonist slows progression of aortic valve sclerosis to calcific aortic valve stenosis within said mammal, and wherein the sGC agonist is BAY 58-2667 (4-[((4-Carboxybutyl) {2-[(4-phenethylbenzyl)oxy]phenethyl}amino)methyl [benzoic] acid hydrochloride), BAY 41-2272 (3-(4-Amino-5-cyclopropylpyrimidin-2-yl)-1-(2-fluorobenzyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridine), BAY-41-8543 (2-[1-[(2-fluorophenyl)methyl]-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-3-yl]-5-(4-morpholinyl)-4,6-pyrimidinediamine), or BAY 63-2521 (methyl (4,6-diamino-2-(1-(2-fluorobenzyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-b]pyridin-3-yl)pyrimidin-5-yl)(methyl)carbamate).
