  • Patent number: 9469600
    Abstract: Prostacyclin compounds and compositions comprising the same are provided herein. Specifically, prostacyclin compounds comprising treprostinil covalently linked to a linear C5-C18 alkyl, branched C5-C18 alkyl, linear C2-C18 alkenyl, branched C3-C18 alkenyl, aryl, aryl-C1-C18 alkyl or an amino acid or a peptide (e.g., dipeptide, tripeptide, tetrapeptide) are described. The linkage, in one embodiment, is via a carbamate, amide or ester bond. Prostacyclin compounds provided herein can also include at least one hydrogen atom substituted with at least one deuterium atom. Methods for treating pulmonary hypertension (e.g., pulmonary arterial hypertension) and portopulmonary hypertension are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20160175553
    Abstract: Low resistance aerosol exhalation filters, and methods of their use are provided. The exhalation filters provided herein are used in conjunction with a nebulizer in the treatment of a pulmonary infection in a patient in need thereof. In one method, an antiinfective formulation is administered to a patient in need of treatment of a pulmonary infection, with a nebulizer comprising a low resistance aerosol exhalation filter of the invention. The pulmonary infection, in one embodiment, is a Pseudomonas or mycobacterial (e.g., NTM) infection.
