Abstract:<p>Therapies to prevent onset and progression of pulmonary arterial pressure are not very effective yet. This study was designed to investigate the effects of a novel dihydropyrimidinone, ethyl 4-(4′-heptanoyloxyphenyl)-6-methyl-3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2-one-5-carboxylate (H-DHPM) on pathogenesis of monocrotaline (MCT)-induced pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). For the same purpose, rats were injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) a single dose (60 mg/kg) of MCT which led to development of PAH in 21 days. MC… Show more
