PROSTACYCLIN COMPOUNDS, COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF CROSS NCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims priority from U.S. Provisional Application Serial Nos. 62/042,123, filed August 26, 2014; 62/028,758, filed July 24, 2014; 61/950,967, filed March 11, 2014; 61/910,703, filed December 2, 2013; 61/895,680, filed October 25, 2013; and is a divisional of New Zealand Patent Application No. , which is a national phase entry of International Patent Application No. , all of which are incorporated by reference in its ty for all purposes.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is terized by an abnormally high blood pressure in the lung ature. It is a progressive, lethal disease that leads to heart failure and can occur in the pulmonary artery, pulmonary vein, or pulmonary capillaries. Symptomatically patients experience shortness of breath, dizziness, fainting, and other symptoms, all of which are made worse by exertion. There are multiple causes, and can be of unknown origin, idiopathic, and can lead to hypertension in other systems, for example, portopulmonary hypertension in which patients have both portal and pulmonary hypertension.
Pulmonary hypertension has been classified into five groups by the World Health Organization (WHO). Group I is called pulmonary al hypertension (PAH), and includes PAH that has no known cause (idiopathic), inherited PAH (i.e., familial PAH or FPAH), PAH that is caused by drugs or , and PAH caused by conditions such as connective tissue diseases, HIV infection, liver disease, and ital heart disease. Group II pulmonary hypertension is characterized as pulmonary hypertension associated with left heart disease.
Group III pulmonary hypertension is characterized as PH associated with lung diseases, such as chronic ctive pulmonary disease and interstitial lung diseases, as well as PH associated with sleep-related breathing disorders (e.g., sleep apnea). Group IV PH is PH due to chronic thrombotic and/or embolic disease, e.g., PH caused by blood clots in the lungs or blood clotting disorders. Group V includes PH caused by other disorders or conditions, e.g., blood disorders (e.g., polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia), systemic disorders (e.g., sarcoidosis, vasculitis), metabolic disorders (e.g., thyroid disease, glycogen storage disease). ary arterial hypertension (PAH) afflicts approximately 0 people ly with approximately -40,000 of those patients in the United States. PAH patients experience constriction of ary es which leads to high pulmonary arterial pressures, tnalring it difficult for the heart to pump blood to the lungs. Patients suffer from shortness of breath and fatigue which often severely limits the y to perform physical acti yity. lllililSl The New York Heart Association (N‘r'l-lA) has categorized PAH patients into four functional classes, used to rate the severity of the disease. Class l PAH patients as categorized by the NYHA, do not have a limitation of physical activityg as ordinary physical activity does not cause undue dyspnoea or fiatigueg chest pain, or near syncope. 'l‘reatnient is not needed for class I PAH patients. Class ll PAH patients as categorized by the NYHA have a slight limitation. on physical activity. "l‘hese patients are comfortable at rest, but ordinary physical activity causes undue dyspnoea or fatigue, chest pain or near e. Class 111 PAl-l patients as categorized by the NYE-EA have a marked limitation of physical activity.
Although comfortable at rest, class lll PAH patients experience undue dyspnoea or fatigue, chest pain or near syncope as a result of less than ordinary physical activity. Class lV PAH patients as categorized by the NYHA are unable to carry out any physical activity Without symptoms" Class l‘v’ PAl-l ts might experience dyspnoea and/or e at rest, and discomfort is increased by any physical ty. Signs of right heart failure are often sted by class 1V PAH patients. {sass} Patients with PAH are t‘eated with an endothelin or antagonist (ERA), pliosphodiesterase type 5 (PUB—5) inhibitor, a guanylate cyclase stimulator, a prostanoid (ago prostacyclin} or a combination thereof. ERAs include ahrisentan {Letairis®)9 sitaxentan, bosentan ('l'racleeniil), and macitentan (OpsurninE). FDR—5 inhibitors indicated for the treatment of PAH include sildenatil (Revatiodh), tadalafil {Adcirca®). Prostanoids ted for the treatment of PAH include iloprost, epoprosentol and treprostinil (Remodulintislfi Tyvasotis‘). The one approved guanylate cyclase stimulator is riociguat (Adempas®). Additionally, patients are often d with combinations of the aforementioned nds. {6967} Portopulmonary hypertension is defined by the tence of portal and ary hypertension, and is a serious complication of liver disease. "the diagnosis of portopulmonary hypertension is based on hemodynarnic criteria: (l) portal hypertension arid/or liver disease (clinical diagnosis~ascites/varicc'/splenothegaly), (2) mean pulmonary artery re '> 25 mrnllg at. rest, {3) pulmonary ar resistance > 24% dynes s/crns, (4) pulmonary artery occlusion pressure < lSi'nrnl-lg or transpulnionary gradient > 12 mmllg. PPlil is a serious EN.) complication of liver disease, and is t in 0.25 to 4% of patients suffering from cirrhosis.
Today, PPH is contor‘oid in 4—6% of those refizrred for a iiver transplant 330%} Despite there being treatments for PAS-i and i’RE-i, the current prostacyciin therapies are associated with severe toxicity and toierahiiity , as well as the requirement for ineerwehient dosing scheduies. The present invention overcomes addresses these factors by providing compounds and treatment schedules that provide for less toxicity, better toierabiiity and more convenient (lasing sehedutes.

The nehulizer device may comprise a nozzle that has two coincident outlet channels of defined aperture size through which the liquid formulation can be accelerated, This results in impaction ot‘ the two s and atomization of the formulation. The neh‘ulizer may use a mechanical actuator to force the liquid formulation through a. inultiorifice nozzle of d aperture sizets} to produce an aerosol of the ation for inhalation. in the design of single dose nebulizers, blister pachs containing single doses of the formulation maybe employed. lillllfilliii in the present. ion the nebulizer may be employed to ensure the sizing of particles is optimal for positioning of the particle within, for example, the pulmonary membrane. lilithld} Upon nebulization, the nebulized composition (also referred to as "aerosolized composition") is in the form of aerosolized particles. The aerosolized composition can be characterized by the le size of the aerosol, for example, by measuring the "mass median aerodynamic diameter" or "fine particle fraction" associated with the aerosolized composition. "Mass median aerodynamic diameter" or "MM AD" is ized ing the aerodynamic tion of aqua aerosol droplets and is determined by impactor measurementsa 63;, the Anderson Cascade lmpactor (AC1) or the Next Generation impaetor (NGI).
