Anti-proliferative agents for treating PAH
Pulmonary hypertension and related diseases, like pulmonary arterial hypertension, can be treated by administering an effective dose of a CDK inhibitor, including palbociclib, 6-acetyl-8-cyclopentyl-5-methyl-2-{[5-(piperazin-1-yl)pyridin-2yl]amino}pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7(8H)-one, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
1. A method for treating PAH in a subject in need thereof, which method comprise administering to the subject an effective amount of 6-acetyl-8-cyclopentyl-5-methyl-2-{[5-(piperazin-1-yl)pyridin-2yl]amino}pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7(8H)-one, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein 6-acetyl-8-cyclopentyl-5-methyl-2-{[5-(piperazin-1-yl)pyridin-2yl]amino}pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7(8H)-one, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is administered a dosage of about 0.6 to about 500 mg per day, either singly or in multiple doses over a 24-hour period.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein 6-acetyl-8-cyclopentyl-5-methyl-2-{[5-(piperazin-1-yl)pyridin-2yl]amino}pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7(8H)-one, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is administered a dosage of about 25 mg to 125 mg per day, either singly or in multiple doses over a 24-hour period.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein 6-acetyl-8-cyclopentyl-5-methyl-2-{[5-(piperazin-1-yl)pyridin-2yl]amino}pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7(8H)-one, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, is administered in combination with one or more other active agent(s).
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method is the administration of an effective amount of 6-acetyl-8-cyclopentyl-5-methyl-2-{[5-(piperazin-1-yl)pyridin-2yl]amino}pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7(8H)-one.
6. The method of claim 4 , wherein the other active agent is sildenafil.
7. A method for treating PAH in a subject in need thereof, which method comprises administering to the subject an effective amount of a CDK inhibitor, wherein the CDK inhibitor is 6-acetyl-8-cyclopentyl-5-methyl-2-{[5-(piperazin-1-yl)pyridin-2yl]amino}pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidin-7(8H)-one, or pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof; the CDK inhibitor is administered in combination with one or more other active agents; and the one or more other active agents are selected from the group consisting of prostaglandin, an endothelin receptor antagonist, a guanylate cyclase inhibitor, vasodilators, calcium channel blockers, anticoagulants, and diuretics.
