Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a life-threatening lung disease. PH with concomitant lung diseases, e.g., idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, is associated with poor prognosis. Development of novel therapeutic vasodilators for treatment of these patients is a key imperative. We evaluated the efficacy of dual activation of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) using an active, small-molecule phosphodiesterase (PDE4)/PDE5 dual inhibitor (Compound A). Compound A increased both cAMP and cGMP levels in WI-38 lung fibroblasts and suppressed the expressions of type-1 collagen 1 chain and fibronectin. Additionally, compound A reduced right ventricular weight/left ventricular weight+septal weight ratio, brain natriuretic peptide expression levels in right ventricle, CC motif chemokine ligand 2 expression levels in lung, and plasma surfactant protein D. Our data indicate that dual activation of cAMP/cGMP pathways may be a novel treatment strategy for PH.
