- X is a bond, —O—, —S—, —C(O)—, —C(R4)═, ═C(R4)—, —C(R3R4)—, —C(R4)═C(R4)—, —C≡C—, —N(R5)—, —N(R5)C(O)N(R5)—, —C(R3R4)N(R5)—, —N(R5)C(R3R4)—, —ONC(R3)—, —C(R3)NO—, —C(R3R4)O—, —OC(R3R4)—, —S(O2)—, —S(O2)N(R5)—, —N(R5)S(O2)—, —C(R3R4)S(O2)—, or —S(O2)C(R3R4)—;
- D is optionally substituted aryl or heterocycle;
- E is optionally substituted aryl or heterocycle;
- R1 is hydrogen or optionally substituted alkyl, alkyl-aryl, alkyl-heterocycle, aryl, or heterocycle;
- R2 is hydrogen or optionally substituted alkyl, alkyl-aryl, alkyl-heterocycle, aryl, or heterocycle;
- R3 is hydrogen, alkoxy, amino, cyano, halogen, hydroxyl, or optionally substituted alkyl;
- R4 is hydrogen, alkoxy, amino, cyano, halogen, hydroxyl, or optionally substituted alkyl or aryl;
- R5 is hydrogen or optionally substituted alkyl or aryl;
- and
- n is 0-3.
A method of treating pulmonary hypertension, which comprises administering to a patient in need thereof therapeutically effective amounts of a prostacyclin and a compound of the formula:
- or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, wherein A is optionally substituted cycloalkyl, aryl, or heterocycle;
- and R2 is hydrogen or lower alkyl.
A method of treating pulmonary hypertension, which comprises administering to a patient in need thereof therapeutically effective amounts of a prostacyclin and (S)-2-amino-3-(4-(2-amino-6-((R)-2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(3′-methoxybiphenyl-4-yl)ethoxy)pyrimidin-4-yl)phenyl)propanoic acid, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
