WO 2011/071951 PCT/US2010/059335 N-ACYLOXYSULFONAMIDE AND N-HYDROXY-N-ACYLSULFONAMIDE DERIVATIVES This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/267,401, filed on December 7, 2009, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 61/291,224, filed on 5 December 30, 2009, the entire contents of which applications are hereby incorporated by reference. Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a generally progressive, life threatening condition in which myocardial contractility is depressed such that the heart is unable to adequately 10 pump the blood returning to it, also referred to as decompensation. Symptoms include breathlessness, fatigue, weakness, leg swelling, and exercise intolerance. On physical examination, patients with heart failure often have elevated heart and respiratory rates (an indication of fluid in the lungs), edema, jugular venous distension, and/or enlarged hearts. The most common cause of CHF is atherosclerosis, which causes blockages in the coronary 15 arteries that provide blood flow to the heart muscle. Ultimately, such blockages may cause myocardial infarction with subsequent decline in heart function and resultant heart failure. Other causes of CHF include valvular heart disease, hypertension, viral infections of the heart, alcohol consumption, and diabetes. Some cases of CHF occur without clear etiology and are called idiopathic. The effects of CHF on an individual experiencing the condition 20 can be fatal. There are several types of CHF. Two types of CHF are identified according to which phase of the cardiac pumping cycle is more affected. Systolic heart failure occurs when the heart's ability to contract decreases. The heart cannot pump with enough force to push a sufficient amount of blood into the circulation leading to a reduced left ventricular ejection 25 fraction. Lung congestion is a typical symptom of systolic heart failure. Diastolic heart failure refers to the heart's inability to relax between contractions and allow enough blood to enter the ventricles. Higher filling pressures are required to maintain cardiac output, but contractility as measured by left ventricular ejection fraction is typically normal. Swelling (edema) in the abdomen and legs is a typical symptom of diastolic heart failure. Often, 30 an individual experiencing heart failure will have some degree of both systolic heart failure and diastolic heart failure. WO 2011/071951 PCT/US2010/059335 2 CHF is also classified according to its severity. The New York Heart Association classifies CHF into four classes: Class I involves no obvious symptoms, with no limitations on physical activity; Class II involves some symptoms during or after normal activity, with mild physical activity limitations; Class III involves symptoms with less than ordinary activity, 5 with moderate to significant physical activity limitations; and Class IV involves significant symptoms at rest, with severe to total physical activity limitations. Typically, an individual progresses through the classes as they live with the condition. Although CHF is generally thought of as a chronic, progressive condition, it can also develop suddenly. This type of CHF is called acute CHF, and it is a medical emergency. 10 Acute CHF can be caused by acute myocardial injury that affects either myocardial performance, such as myocardial infarction, or valvular/chamber integrity, such as mitral regurgitation or ventricular septal rupture, which leads to an acute rise in left ventricular and diastolic pressure resulting in pulmonary edema and dyspnea. Common treatment agents for CHF include vasodilators (drugs that dilate blood 15 vessels), positive inotropes (drugs that increase the heart's ability to contract), and diuretics (drugs to reduce fluid). Additionally, beta-antagonists (drugs that antagonize beta adrenergic receptors) have become standard agents for treating mild to moderate heart failure. Lowes et al., Clin. Cardiol. 2000, 23, III, 1-6. Positive inotropic agents include beta-adrenergic agonists, such as dopamine, 20 dobutamine, dopexamine, and isoproterenol. However, use of a beta-agonist has potential complications, such as arrhythmogenesis and increased oxygen demand by the heart. Additionally, the initial short-lived improvement of myocardial contractility afforded by these drugs is followed by an accelerated mortality rate resulting largely from a greater frequency of sudden death. Katz, Heart Failure. Pathophysiology, Molecular Biology And 25 Clinical Management 1999, Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins. Beta-antagonists antagonize beta-adrenergic receptor function. While initially contra indicated in heart failure, they have been found to provide a marked reduction in mortality and morbidity in clinical trials. Bouzamondo et al., Fundam. Clin. Pharmacol. 2001, 15, 95- 109. Accordingly, they have become an established therapy for heart failure. However, even 30 individuals that improve under beta-antagonist therapy may subsequently decompensate and require acute treatment with a positive inotropic agent. Unfortunately, as their name suggests, WO 2011/071951 PCT/US2010/059335 3 beta-antagonists block the mechanism of action of the positive inotropic beta-agonists that are used in emergency care centers. Bristow et al., J. Card. Fail., 2001, 7, 8-12. Vasodilators, such as nitroglycerin, have been used for a long period of time to treat heart failure. However, the cause of nitroglycerin's therapeutic effect was not known until 5 late in the last century when it was discovered that the nitric oxide molecule (NO) was responsible for nitroglycerin's beneficial effects. In some individuals experiencing heart failure, a nitric oxide donor is administered in combination with a positive inotropic agent to both cause vasodilation and to increase myocardial contractility. However, this combined administration can impair the effectiveness of positive inotropic treatment agents. For 10 example, Hart et al, Am. J. Physiol. Heart Circ. Physiol. 2001, 281, 146-54, reported that administration of the nitric oxide donor sodium nitroprusside, in combination with the positive inotropic, beta- adrenergic agonist dobutamine, impaired the positive inotropic effect of dobutamine. Hare et al., Circulation 1995, 92, 2198-203, also disclosed the inhibitory effect of nitric oxide on the effectiveness of dobutamine. 15 As described in U.S. Patent No. 6,936,639, compounds that donate nitroxyl (HNO) under physiological conditions have both positive inotropic and lusotropic effects and offer significant advantages over existing treatments for failing hearts. Due to their concomitant positive inotropic/lusotropic action and unloading effects, nitroxyl donors were reported as helpful in treating cardiovascular diseases characterized by high resistive load and poor contractile 20 performance. In particular, nitroxyl-donating compounds were reported as useful in the treatment of heart failure, including heart failure in individuals receiving beta-antagonist therapy. Ischemia Ischemia is a condition characterized by an interruption or inadequate supply of blood 25 to tissue, which causes oxygen deprivation in the affected tissue. Myocardial ischemia is a condition caused by a blockage or constriction of one or more of the coronary arteries, such as can occur with atherosclerotic plaque occlusion or rupture. The blockade or constriction causes oxygen deprivation of the non-perfused tissue, which can cause tissue damage. Further, upon reperfusion with subsequent reoxygenation of the tissue, when the 30 blood is able to flow again or the oxygen demand of the tissue subsides, additional injury can be caused by oxidative stress. WO 2011/071951 PCT/US2010/059335 4 Ischemia/reperfusion injury refers to tissue damage caused by oxygen deprivation followed by reoxygenation. The effects of ischemia/reperfusion injury in an individual experiencing the condition can be fatal, particularly when the injury occurs in a critical organ such as the heart or brain. 5 Accordingly, compounds and compositions effective in preventing or protecting against ischemia/reperfusion injury would be useful pharmaceuticals. Compounds such as nitroglycerin have been used for a long period of time to help control vascular tone and protect against myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury. It was discovered that the nitric oxide molecule was responsible for nitroglycerin's beneficial effects. This discovery 10 prompted interest in medical uses for nitric oxide and investigations into related species such as nitroxyl. As reported in U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 10/463,084 (U.S. Publication No. 2004/0038947), administration of a compound that donates nitroxyl under physiological conditions, prior to ischemia, can attenuate ischemia/reperfusion injury to tissues, for example, myocardial tissues. This beneficial effect was reported as a surprising 15 result given that nitroxyl was previously reported to increase ischemia/reperfusion injury (see, Ma et al., Proc. Nat'l Acad. Sci. 1999, 96(25), 14617- 14622, reporting that administration of Angeli's salt (a nitroxyl donor under physiological conditions) to anesthetized rabbits during ischemia and 5 minutes prior to reperfusion increased myocardial ischemia/ reperfusion injury, and Takahira et al., Free Radical Biology & Medicine 2001, 31(6), 20 809-815, reporting that administration of Angeli's salt during ischemia and 5 minutes before reperfusion of rat renal tissue contributed to neutrophil infiltration into the tissue, which is believed to mediate ischemia/reperfusion injury). In particular, pre-ischemic administration of Angeli's salt and isopropylamine/NO has been reported to prevent or reduce ischemia/reperfusion injury. 25 Cancer One of the challenges in developing anti-cancer drugs is to discover compounds that are selectively toxic to tumor cells over normal cells. It has been found that tumor tissues have an acidic microenvironment with a pH from 6.0 to 7.0, while the extra- and intracellular milieu of normal cells has a pH of 7.4. Angeli's salt has been reported to exhibit strong 30 cytotoxicity to cancer cells in weakly acidic solutions, whereas no toxicity was observed at pH 7.4 (Stoyanovsky, D.A. et al. J. Med. Chem. 2004, 47, 210-217; and PCT Publication No. WO/2003/02022 1). In a subcutaneous xenograft model of WO 2011/071951 PCT/US2010/059335 5 pheochromocytoma, Angeli's salt was found to inhibit tumor growth at a dose that was nontoxic to nude mice. Nitroxyl derivatives that are not known to release HNO, such as ruboxyl, a nitroxyl analogue of daunorubicin, have been shown to be active against hepatic metastases from colorectal carcinoma (Sirovich, I. et al Tumor Biol. 1999, 20, 270-276). 5 Norris A. J. et al., Intl. J. Cancer 2008, 122, 1905-1910, reported that Angeli's salt inhibits the proliferation of cultured breast cancer cells and decreases tumor mass in a mouse xenograft model. Norris A. J. et al proposed that HNO released from Angeli's salt blocks glycolysis in cancer cells by inhibiting the enzyme glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH), resulting in decreased levels of HIF- 1 a (hypoxia-inducible factor) protein and 10 activity, lower VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) production, decreased tumor angiogenesis and an increase in apoptotic cells. Pulmonary Hypertension Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a generic term for a group of conditions characterized by elevated blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs (pulmonary arteries). In patients with 15 PH, characteristic changes occur within the pulmonary circulation. These changes include thickening of the linings and obstruction of the small pulmonary blood vessels. As a result of these changes, pressure in the pulmonary circulation rises, and resistance in the blood flowing through the vessels increases. This increased resistance puts a strain on the right side of the heart as it must work harder to pump blood to the lungs. This strain can cause the heart to 20 enlarge. Eventually, heart failure can develop. The World Health Organization (WHO) classification of PH', as updated in the 2008 4 th World Conference in Dana Point, California, includes five groups: pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)(Group 1), PH owing to left heart disease (Group 2), PH owing to lung diseases and/or hypoxia (Group 3), chronic thromboembolic PH (Group 4), and PH with 25 unclear multifactorial mechanisms (Group 5). Notwithstanding the current WHO classification, some literature still refer to the older classification system of "primary" and "secondary" PH. Primary PH refers to idiopathic PH, 1 The initial attempt to develop a classification for PH was undertaken during the WHO Conference on PH in 1973. Since then, the PH classification has been revised three times, first at the 1998 2nd World Symposium in Evian, France, then at the 2003 3 rd World Symposium in Venice, Italy, and most recently at the 2008 4th World Symposium in Dana Point, California. WO 2011/071951 PCT/US2010/059335 6 while secondary PH refers to PH that develops from another medical condition. For example, under the older classification system, PH owing to left heart disease was classified as PH secondary to left heart disease. Current therapies for PH include supplemental oxygen, diuretics, oral vasodilators such 5 as calcium channel blockers, anticoagulants, inotropic agents, prostanoids, endothelin receptor antagonists, and phosphodiesterase type-5 inhibitors. While such therapies have met with some success, many PH patients fail to respond to these therapies. Nitroxyl Donors Due to its inherent reactivity, HNO must be generated in situ from donor compounds. 10 To date, the vast majority of studies of the biological effect of HNO have used the donor sodium a-oxyhyponitrite ("Angeli's salt" or "AS"). However, the chemical stability of AS has made it unsuitable to develop as a therapeutic agent. Angeli's salt also releases nitrite, which possesses its own biological profile. N-hydroxybenzenesulfonamide ("Piloty's acid" or "PA") has previously been shown to be a nitroxyl donor only at high pH (>9) (Bonner, F.T. et 15 al., Inorg. Chem. 1992, 31, 2514-2519). Under physiological conditions, PA has been shown to be a nitric oxide donor via an oxidative pathway (Zamora, R. et al., Biochem. J 1995, 312, 333-339). PCT Patent Application Publication No. WO/2007/109175 describes N hydroxylsulfonamide derivatives that donate nitroxyl under physiological conditions. Acyloxy nitroso compounds have been reported to yield nitroxyl in situ when 20 reacted with nucleophiles (Sha, X. et al., J Am. Chem. Soc. 2006, 128, 9687-9692). Although Rehse et al., Arch. Pharm. Med. Chem. 1998, 331, 104-110, showed acyloxy nitroso compounds inhibit platelet aggregation and thrombus formation (indicative of NO release), they generate only small amounts (<1%) of NO and HNO under neutral conditions. International Patent Application Publication WO 2007/120839 describes 25 conjugates of acyloxy nitroso compounds with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) as nitroxyl donors for treating congestive heart failure. Significant Medical Need Despite efforts towards the development of new therapies for the treatment of the diseases and conditions described above, there remains a significant medical need for 30 additional or alternative compounds that treat, prevent or delay the onset and/or WO 2011/071951 PCT/US2010/059335 7 development of these and related diseases or conditions. In particular, there remains a significant medical need for alternative or additional therapies for the treatment of diseases or conditions that are responsive to nitroxyl therapy. New compounds that donate nitroxyl under physiological conditions and methods of using compounds that donate nitroxyl under 5 physiological conditions may thus find use as therapies for treating, preventing and/or delaying the onset and/or development of diseases or conditions responsive to nitroxyl therapy, including heart disease, ischemia/reperfusion injury and cancer. Preferably, the therapeutic agents can improve the quality of life and/or prolong the survival time for patients with the disease or condition. 10 Brief Description of the Drawings FIG. 1 shows the intravenous effects of a nitroxyl (HNO) donor on mean and systolic (peak) pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) in rats.

Each unit dosage form may contain a predetermined amount of an active substance (e.g., a compound of formula (I), (II), (Ta) or (Ila) calculated to produce a desired effect. Unless clearly indicated otherwise, an "individual" or "patient" refers to an animal, such 10 as a mammal, including but not limited, to a human. Hence, the methods described herein can be useful in human therapy and veterinary applications. In some embodiments, the individual or patient is a mammal. In some embodiments, the individual or patient is a human. "Effective amount" refers to such amount of a compound or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, which in combination with its parameters of efficacy and toxicity, as 15 well as based on the knowledge of the practicing specialist should be effective in a given therapeutic form. As is understood in the art, an effective amount may be in one or more doses. "Treatment" or "treating" is an approach for obtaining a beneficial or desired result, including clinical results. For purposes of this invention, beneficial or desired results include but are not limited to inhibiting and/or suppressing the onset and/or development of a disease or 20 condition or reducing the severity of such disease or condition, such as reducing the number and/or severity of symptoms associated with the disease or condition, increasing the quality of life of those suffering from the disease or condition, decreasing the dose of other medications required to treat the disease or condition, enhancing the effect of another medication an individual is taking for the disease or condition, and prolonging survival of individuals having 25 the disease or condition. "Preventing" refers to reducing the probability of developing a disorder or condition in an individual who does not have, but is at risk of developing a disorder or condition. An individual "at risk" may or may not have a detectable disease or condition, and may or may not have displayed a detectable disease or condition prior to the treatment methods described 30 herein. "At risk" denotes that an individual has one or more so-called risk factors, which are measurable parameters that correlate with development of a disease or condition and are known WO 2011/071951 PCT/US2010/059335 16 in the art. An individual having one or more of these risk factors has a higher probability of developing the disease or condition than an individual without these risk factor(s). "Nitroxyl" refers to the species HNO. "Nitroxyl donor" or "HNO donor" refers to a compound that donates nitroxyl under 5 physiological conditions. As used herein, nitroxyl donors may alternatively be referred to as "a compound" or "the compound." In some embodiments, the nitroxyl donor is capable of donating an effective amount of nitroxyl in vivo and has a safety profile indicating the compound would be tolerated by an individual in the amount necessary to achieve a therapeutic effect. One of ordinary skill in the art would be able to determine the safety of administering 10 particular compounds and dosages to live subjects. One of skill in the art may also determine whether a compound is a nitroxyl donor by evaluating whether it releases HNO under physiological conditions. Compounds are easily tested for nitroxyl donation with routine experiments. Although it is impractical to directly measure whether nitroxyl is donated, several tests are accepted for determining whether a compound donates nitroxyl. For example, the 15 compound of interest can be placed in solution, for example in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) or phosphate buffered solution at a pH of about 7.4, in a sealed container. After sufficient time for disassociation has elapsed, such as from several minutes to several hours, the headspace gas is withdrawn and analyzed to determine its composition, such as by gas chromatography and/or mass spectroscopy. If the gas N 2 0 is formed (which occurs by HNO dimerization), the test is 20 positive for nitroxyl donation and the compound is a nitroxyl donor. The level of nitroxyl donating ability may be expressed as a percentage of a compound's theoretical maximum. A compound that donates a "significant level of nitroxyl" intends a compound that donates 40 % or more or 50 % or more of its theoretical maximum amount of nitroxyl. In some embodiments, the compounds for use herein donate 60 % or more of the theoretical maximum 25 amount of nitroxyl. In some embodiments, the compounds for use herein donate 70 % or more of the theoretical maximum amount of nitroxyl. In some embodiments, the compounds for use herein donate 80% or more of the theoretical maximum amount of nitroxyl. In some embodiments, the compounds for use herein donate 90% or more of the theoretical maximum amount of nitroxyl. In some embodiments, the compounds for use herein donate between about 30 70% and about 90% of the theoretical maximum amount of nitroxyl. In some embodiments, the compounds for use herein donate between about 85 % and about 95 % of the theoretical maximum amount of nitroxyl. In some embodiments, the compounds for use herein donate between about 90 % and about 95 % of the theoretical maximum amount of nitroxyl. WO 2011/071951 PCT/US2010/059335 17 Compounds that donate less than 40% or less than 50 % of their theoretical amount of nitroxyl are still nitroxyl donors and may be used in the invention disclosed herein. A compound that donates less than 50 % of the theoretical amount of nitroxyl may be used in the methods described, and may require higher dosing levels as compared to compounds that donate a 5 significant level of nitroxyl. Nitroxyl donation also can be detected by exposing the test compound to metmyoglobin (Mb 3 -). Nitroxyl reacts with Mb 3 + to form an Mb 2 -NO complex, which can be detected by changes in the ultraviolet/visible spectrum or by Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR). The Mb 2 -NO complex has an EPR signal centered around a g-value of about 2. Nitric oxide, on the other hand, reacts with Mb 3 to form an Mb 3 -NO 10 complex that is EPR silent. Accordingly, if the candidate compound reacts with Mb 3 to form a complex detectable by common methods, such as ultraviolet/visible or EPR, then the test is positive for nitroxyl donation. Testing for nitroxyl donation may be performed at physiologically relevant pH. Examples of nitroxyl donors include, without limitation, sodium dioxotrinitrate ("Angeli's salt" or "AS"), N-hydroxybenzenesulfonamide ("Piloty's acid" or 15 "PA"), and the compounds disclosed in US Patent No. 6,936,639, US Patent Publication Nos. 2004/0038947, 2007/0299107 and 2009/0163487, and PCT Publication Nos. WO/2007/002444, WO/2005/074598 and WO/2009/137717, the entire disclosures of which patents and publications are herein incorporated by reference. "Positive inotrope" refers to an agent that causes an increase in myocardial contractile 20 function. Such an agent includes a beta-adrenergic receptor agonist, an inhibitor of phosphodiesterase activity, and calcium-sensitizers. Beta-adrenergic receptor agonists include, among others, dopamine, dobutamine, terbutaline, and isoproterenol. Analogs and derivatives of such compounds are also intended. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,663,351 describes a dobutamine prodrug that can be administered orally. One of ordinary skill in 25 the art would be able to determine if a compound is capable of causing positive inotropic effects and also additional beta-agonist compounds. In particular embodiments, the beta receptor agonist is selective for the beta-I receptor. In other embodiments the beta-agonist is selective for the beta-2 receptor, or is not selective for any particular receptor. Diseases or conditions that are "responsive to nitroxyl therapy" includes any disease 30 or condition in which administration of a compound that donates an effective amount of nitroxyl under physiological conditions treats and/or prevents the disease or condition, as those terms are defined herein. A disease or condition whose symptoms are suppressed or diminished upon administration of nitroxyl donor is a disease or condition responsive to WO 2011/071951 PCT/US2010/059335 18 nitroxyl therapy. Non- limiting examples of diseases or conditions that are responsive to nitroxyl therapy include coronary obstructions, coronary artery disease (CAD), angina, heart attack, myocardial infarction, high blood pressure, ischemic cardiomyopathy and infarction, diastolic heart failure, pulmonary congestion, pulmonary edema, cardiac fibrosis, 5 valvular heart disease, pericardial disease, circulatory congestive states, peripheral edema, ascites, Chagas' disease, ventricular hypertrophy, heart valve disease, heart failure, including but not limited to congestive heart failure such as acute congestive heart failure and acute decompensated heart failure.

Nonlimiting examples of heart failure include early stage heart failure, Class I, II, III or 30 IV heart failure, acute heart failure, congestive heart failure (CHF) and acute congestive heart failure. WO 2011/071951 PCT/US2010/059335 47 In some embodiments, the cardiovascular disease is CHF, and the method further comprises administering an effective amount of at least one other positive inotropic agent to the individual. In some embodiments, the individual is experiencing heart failure. In some embodiments, the at least one other positive inotrope is a beta-adrenergic agonist. 5 In some embodiments, the beta-adrenergic agonist is dobutamine. Ischemia or Reperfusion Injury In some embodiments, the invention provides a method of treating, preventing or delaying the onset and/or development of ischemia or reperfusion injury, comprising administering an effective amount of a compound or pharmaceutical composition as 10 described herein to a subject in need thereof. In some embodiments, the method is for preventing ischemia or reperfusion injury. In some embodiments, the compound or pharmaceutical composition is administered prior to the onset of ischemia. In some embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition is administered prior to procedures in which myocardial ischemia may occur, for example an 15 angioplasty or surgery, such as a coronary artery bypass graft surgery. In some embodiments, the compound or pharmaceutical composition is administered after ischemia but before reperfusion. In some embodiments, the compound or pharmaceutical composition is administered after ischemia and reperfusion. In some embodiments, the subject is an individual. In some embodiments, the 20 subject is an individual at risk for an ischemic event. In some embodiments, the individual is at risk for a future ischemic event, but has no present evidence of ischemia. The determination of whether an individual is at risk for an ischemic event can be performed by any method known in the art, such as examining the individual or the individual's medical history. In some embodiments, the individual has had a prior 25 ischemic event. Thus, the individual may be at risk of a first or subsequent ischemic event. Examples of individuals at risk for an ischemic event include individuals with known hypercholesterolemia, EKG changes associated with ischemia (e.g., peaked or inverted T- waves or ST segment elevations or depression in an appropriate clinical context), abnormal EKG not associated with active ischemia, elevated CKMB, clinical 30 evidence of ischemia (e.g., crushing sub-sternal chest pain or arm pain, shortness of breath and/or diaphoresis), prior history of myocardial infarction, elevated serum WO 2011/071951 PCT/US2010/059335 48 cholesterol, sedentary lifestyle, angiographic evidence of partial coronary artery obstruction, echocardiographic evidence of myocardial damage, or any other evidence of a risk for a future ischemic event. Examples of ischemic events include, without limitation, myocardial infarction (MI) and neurovascular ischemia, such as a 5 cerebrovascular accident CVA). In some embodiments, the subject is an organ that is to be transplanted. In some embodiments, the compound or pharmaceutical composition is administered prior to reperfusion of the organ in a transplant recipient. In some embodiments, the compound or pharmaceutical composition is administered prior to removal of the organ from the 10 donor, for example through the perfusion cannulas used in the organ removal process. If the organ donor is a live donor, for example a kidney donor, the compound or pharmaceutical composition can be administered to the organ donor. In some embodiments, the compound or pharmaceutical composition is administered by storing the organ in a solution comprising the compound or pharmaceutical composition. For example, 15 the compound or pharmaceutical composition can be included in the organ preservation solution, such as the University of Wisconsin "UW" solution, which is a solution comprising hydroxyethyl starch substantially free of ethylene glycol, ethylene chlorohydrin and acetone (see, U.S. Pat. No. 4,798,824). In some embodiments, the amount of the compound or pharmaceutical composition is such that ischemia or 20 reperfusion injury to the tissues of the organ is reduced upon reperfusion in the recipient of transplanted organ. In some embodiments, the method reduces tissue necrosis (the size of infarct) in at-risk tissues. Ischemia or reperfusion injury may damage tissues other than those of the myocardium and the invention embraces methods of treating or preventing such damage. 25 In some embodiments, the ischemia or reperfusion injury is non-myocardial. In some embodiments, the method reduces injury from ischemia or reperfusion in the tissue of the brain, liver, gut, kidney, bowel, or any part of the body other than the myocardium. In some embodiments, the individual is at risk for such injury. Selecting a person at risk for non-myocardial ischemia could include a determination of the indicators used to 30 assess risk for myocardial ischemia. However, other factors may indicate a risk for ischemia/reperfusion in other tissues. For example, surgery patients often experience surgery related ischemia. Thus, individuals scheduled for surgery could be considered at risk for an ischemic event. The following risk factors for stroke (or a subset of these WO 2011/071951 PCT/US2010/059335 49 risk factors) could demonstrate an individual's risk for ischemia of brain tissue: hypertension, cigarette smoking, carotid artery stenosis, physical inactivity, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, transient ischemic attack, atrial fibrillation, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, past myocardial infarction, left ventricular dysfunction 5 with mural thrombus, and mitral stenosis. Ingall, Postgrad. Med. 2000, 107(6), 34-50. Further, complications of untreated infectious diarrhea in the elderly can include myocardial, renal, cerebrovascular and intestinal ischemia. Slotwiner-Nie et al., Gastroenterol. Clin. N. Am. 2001, 30(3), 625-635. Alternatively, individuals could be selected based on risk factors for ischemic bowel, kidney or liver disease. For example, 10 treatment would be initiated in elderly individuals at risk of hypotensive episodes (such as surgical blood loss). Thus, individuals presenting with such an indication would be considered at risk for an ischemic event. In some embodiments, the individual has any one or more of the conditions listed herein, such as diabetes mellitus or hypertension. Other conditions that may result in ischemia, such as cerebral arteriovenous malformation, could 15 demonstrate an individual's risk for an ischemic event. In some embodiments, the method further comprises administering an additional therapeutic agent. The therapeutic agent may be, for example, a nitroxyl-donating compound, such as Angeli's salt or another compound described herein, a beta-blocker, a calcium channel blocker, an anti-platelet agent or any other therapeutic agent for reducing 20 ischemic injury or for protecting myocardium in the individual.

Administration Modes, Regimens and Dose Levels 15 Any administration regimen well known to those skilled in the art for regulating the timing and sequence of drug delivery can be used and repeated as necessary to effect treatment in the methods described herein. For example, the compound or pharmaceutical composition may be administered 1, 2, 3 or 4 times daily, by a single dose, multiple discrete doses or continuous infusion. 20 The compound or pharmaceutical composition may be administered prior to, at substantially the same time with, or after administration of an additional therapeutic agent. The administration regimen may include pretreatment and/or co-administration with the additional therapeutic agent. In such case, the compound or pharmaceutical composition and the additional therapeutic agent may be administered simultaneously, separately, or 25 sequentially. Examples of administration regimens include without limitation: administration of each compound, pharmaceutical composition and therapeutic agent in a sequential manner; and WO 2011/071951 PCT/US2010/059335 52 co-administration of each compound, pharmaceutical composition and therapeutic agent in a substantially simultaneous manner (e.g., as in a single unit dosage form) or in multiple, separate unit dosage forms for each compound, pharmaceutical composition and therapeutic agent. 5 Administration of the compound or pharmaceutical composition may be via any accepted mode known to one skilled in the art, for example, orally, parenterally, by inhalation spray, topically, rectally, nasally, buccally, vaginally, intraocularly, intrapulmonarily, or via an implanted reservoir. The term "parenterally" includes without limitation subcutaneously, intravenously, intramuscularly, intraperitoneally, intrathecally, intraventricularly, intrasternally, 10 intracranially, by intraosseous injection and by infusion techniques. Administration may involve systemic exposure or may be local, such as when a compound or pharmaceutical composition is administered at the site of interest. Various tools can be used for administering at the site of interest, such as catheters, trocars, projectiles, pluronic gels, stems, sustained drug release polymers or other devices which provide for internal access. 15 Where the compound or pharmaceutical composition is administered to an organ to be donated, such organ may be bathed in a medium containing the compound or pharmaceutical composition. Alternatively, the compound or pharmaceutical composition may be painted onto the organ, or may be applied in any suitable manner. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the "effective amount" or "dose 20 level" will depend on various factors such as the particular administration mode, administration regimen, compound, and composition selected, and the particular disease and patient being treated. For example, the appropriate dose level may vary depending upon the activity, rate of excretion and possible toxicity of the specific compound or composition employed; the age, body weight, general health, gender and diet of the patient being treated; the frequency of 25 administration; the other therapeutic agent(s) being co-administered; and the type and severity of the disease. The compounds and pharmaceutical compositions described herein may be administered at suitable dose level. In some embodiments, the compound or pharmaceutical composition is administered at a dose level of about 0.0001 to 4.0 grams once per day (or 30 multiple doses per day in divided doses) for adults. Thus, in some embodiments, the compound or pharmaceutical composition is administered at a dose level range in which the low end of the range is any amount between 0.1 mg/day and 400 mg/day and the high end of WO 2011/071951 PCT/US2010/059335 53 the range is any amount between 1 mg/day and 4000 mg/day (e.g., 5 mg/day and 100 mg/day, 150 mg/day and 500 mg/day). In some embodiments, the compound or pharmaceutical composition is administered at a dose level range in which the low end of the range is any amount between 0.1 mg/kg/day and 90 mg/kg/day and the high end of the range 5 is any amount between 1 mg/kg/day and 100 mg/kg/day (e.g., 0.5 mg/kg/day and 2 mg/kg/day, 5 mg/kg/day and 20 mg/kg/day). In some embodiments, the compound or pharmaceutical composition is administered at a weight base dose. In some embodiments, the dose level is about 0.001 to about 10,000 mg/kg/d. In some embodiments, the dose level is about 0.01 to about 1,000 mg/kg/d. In some 10 embodiments, the dose level is about 0.01 to about 100 mg/kg/d. In some embodiments, the dose level is about 0.01 to about 10 mg/kg/d. In some embodiments, the dose level is about 0.1 to about 1 mg/kg/d. In some embodiments, the dose level is less than about 1 g/kg/d. The dose level can be adjusted for intravenous administration. In such case, the compound or pharmaceutical composition can be administered in an amount of between 15 about .01 1 g/kg/min to about 100 1 tg/kg/min, about .05 ptg/kg/min to about 95 ptg/kg/min, about .1 tg/kg/min to about 90 jtg/kg/min, about 1.0 jtg/kg/min to about 80 ptg/kg/min, about 10.0 jtg/kg/min to about 70 jtg/kg/min, about 20 jtg/kg/min to about 60 ptg/kg/min, about 30 pg/kg/min to about 50 pg/kg/min, about .01 1 g/kg/min to about 1.0 jtg/kg/min, about .01 ptg/kg/min to about 10 jtg/kg/min, about 0.1 jtg/kg/min to about 1.0 1 g/kg/min, about 20 0.1 ptg/kg/min to about 10 ptg/kg/min, about 1.0 pg/kg/min to about 5 ptg/kg/min, about 70 pg/kg/iin to about 100 jtg/kg/min, about 80 ptg/kg/min to about 90 g/kg/min. The dosing interval can be adjusted according to the needs of the individual. For longer intervals of administration, extended release or depot formulations can be used.

Other than in the working examples, or where otherwise indicated, all numbers expressing quantities of ingredients, reaction conditions, and so forth used in the specification and claims are to be understood as being modified by the term "about". Accordingly, unless indicated to the contrary, such numbers are approximations that may vary depending upon the 15 desired properties sought to be obtained by the present invention. At the very least, and not as an attempt to limit the application of the doctrine of equivalents to the scope of the claims, each numerical parameter should be construed in light of the number of significant digits and ordinary rounding techniques. While the numerical ranges and parameters setting forth the broad scope of the 20 invention are approximations, the numerical values set forth in the working examples are reported as precisely as possible. Any numerical value, however, inherently contains certain errors necessarily resulting from the standard deviation found in their respective testing measurements. EXAMPLES 25 The following examples are presented for illustrative purposes and should not serve to limit the scope of the invention.

EXAMPLE 6: HNO Production Via N 2 0 Quantification Nitrous oxide is produced via the dimerization and dehydration of HNO, and is the most 15 common marker for HNO production (Fukuto, J.M. et al., Chem. Res. Toxicol. 2005, 18, 790-801). HNO, however, can also be partially quenched by oxygen to yield a product that does not produce N 2 0 (see Mincione, F. et al., J. Enzyme Inhibition 1998, 13, 267 284; and Scozzafava, A. et al., J. Med. Chem. 2000, 43, 3677-3687.) Using Angeli's salt (AS) as a benchmark, the relative amounts of N 2 0 released from compounds are examined via 20 gas chromatography (GC) headspace analysis. The ability of compounds to donate HNO is assessed. Results are provided Table 3. N 2 0 results are reported relative to Angeli's salt. All decompositions are carried out at 37 'C under argon.

Certain compounds 5 described herein are tested and show detectable levels of HNO. Certain compounds described herein exhibit enhanced HNO production in the presence of PLE. Compound stability is also determined by assessing the half-life of the compounds in PBS at 37 'C at pH 7.4 with and without the addition of PLE according to methods known in the art, e.g., in PCT publication No. PCT/US2007/0067 10. 10 EXAMPLE 7: In Vitro Model to Determine Ability of Compounds or Pharmaceutical Compositions to Treat, Prevent and/or Delay Onset and/or Development of a Disease or Condition Cardiovascular Diseases or Conditions In vitro models of cardiovascular disease can also be used to determine the ability of 15 any of the compounds and pharmaceutical compositions described herein to treat, prevent and/or delay the onset and/or the development of a cardiovascular disease or condition in an individual. An exemplary in vitro model of heart disease is described below. In-vitro models could be utilized to assess vasorelaxation properties of the compounds and pharmaceutical compositions. Isometric tension in isolated rat thoracic aortic ring WO 2011/071951 PCT/US2010/059335 109 segment can be measured as described previously by Crawford, J.H. et al., Blood 2006, 107, 566-575. Upon sacrifice, aortic ring segments are excised and cleansed of fat and adhering tissue. Vessels are then cut into individual ring segments (2-3 mm in width) and suspended from a force-displacement transducer in a tissue bath. Ring segments are bathed 5 at 37 'C in a bicarbonate-buffered, Krebs-Henseleit (K-H) solution of the following composition (mM): NaCl 118; KC1 4.6; NaHCO3 27.2; KH2PO4 1.2; MgSO4 1.2; CaCl2 1.75; Na2EDTA 0.03; and glucose 11.1 and perfused continuously with 21% 02/5% C02/74% N2. A passive load of 2 g is applied to all ring segments and maintained at this level throughout the experiments. At the beginning of each experiment, indomethacin 10 treated ring segments are depolarized with KC1 (70 mM) to determine the maximal contractile capacity of the vessel. Rings are then washed extensively and allowed to equilibrate. For subsequent experiments, vessels are submaximally contracted (50% of KCl response) with phenylephrine (PE, 3 x 1 0- - 1 0-7 M), and L-NMMA, 0.1 mM, is also added to inhibit eNOS and endogenous NO production. After tension development reaches a 15 plateau, compounds or pharmaceutical compositions are added cumulatively to the vessel bath and effects on tension monitored. In vitro models can be utilized to determine the effects of the compounds and pharmaceutical compositions in changes in developed force and intracellular calcium in heart muscles. Developed force and intracellular calcium can be measured in rat trabeculae from 20 normal or diseased (i.e. rats with congestive heart failure or hypertrophy) as described previously (Gao W.D. et al., Circ. Res. 1995, 76:1036-1048). Rats (Sprague-Dawley, 250-300 g) are used in these experiments. The rats are anesthetized with pentobarbital (100 mg/kg) via intra-abdominal injection, the heart exposed by mid-stemotomy, rapidly excised and placed in a dissection dish. The aorta is cannulated and the heart perfused retrograde (~15 25 mImin) with dissecting Krebs-Henseleit (H-K) solution equilibrated with 95% 02 and 5% C02. The dissecting K-H solution is composed of (mM): NaCl 120, NaHCO3 20, KC1 5, MgCl2 1.2, glucose 10, CaCl2 0.5, and 2,3- butanedione monoximine (BDM) 20, pH 7.35 7.45 at room temperature (21-22'C). Trabeculae from the right ventricle of the heart are dissected and mounted between a force transducer and a motor arm and superfused with 30 normal K-H solution (KCl, 5 mM) at a rate of -10 ml/min and stimulated at 0.5 Hz. Dimensions of the muscles are measured with a calibration reticule in the ocular of the dissection microscope (x40, resolution -1 0 jim). WO 2011/071951 PCT/US2010/059335 110 Force is measured using a force transducer system and is expressed in millinewtons per square millimeter of cross-sectional area. Sarcomere length is measured by laser diffraction. Resting sarcomere length is set at 2.20-2.30 ptm throughout the experiments. Intracellular calcium is measured using the free acid form of fura-2 as described in 5 previous studies (Gao et al., 1994; Backx et al., 1995; Gao et al., 1998). Fura-2 potassium salt is microinjected iontophoretically into one cell and allowed to spread throughout the whole muscle (via gap junctions). The tip of the electrode (~0.2 ptm in diameter) is filled with fura-2 salt (1 mM) and the remainder of the electrode is filled with 150 mM KCl. After a successful impalement into a superficial cell in non-stimulated muscle, a hyperpolarizing 10 current of 5-10 nA is passed continuously for ~15 min. Fura-2 epifluorescence is measured by exciting at 380 and 340 nm. Fluorescent light is collected at 510 nm by a photomultiplier tube. The output of photomultiplier is collected and digitized. Ryanodine (1.0 piM) is used to enable steady-state activation. After 15 min of exposure to ryanodine, different levels of tetanizations are induced briefly (~4-8 seconds) by stimulating the muscles at 10 Hz at 15 varied extracellular calcium (0.5- 20 mM). All experiments are performed at room temperature (20-22 C). Diseases or conditions implicating ischemia/reperfusion In vitro models can also be used to determine the ability of any of the compounds and pharmaceutical compositions described herein to treat, prevent and/or delay the onset 20 and/or the development of a disease or condition implicating ischemia/reperfusion injury in an individual. Cancer Antitumor activities of the compounds described herein can be assessed using in vitro proliferation assays of tumor cells using well-known methods, such as described in Norris A. 25 J. et al. Intl. J. Cancer 2008, 122:1905-1910. Cells of an appropriate cell line, e.g. human breast cancer cell line MCF-7, are seeded in 96-well tissue culture microtiter plates at ~4000 cells per well for an overnight incubation. Serial 10-fold dilutions of test compounds are added, and the cells are incubated for 72 h. The cell viability is determined using the CellTiter-Glo T M Luminescent WO 2011/071951 PCT/US2010/059335 111 Cell Viability Assay (Promega; Madison, WI). IC 5 0 is measured as the concentration of drug required for inhibiting cell growth by 50%. EXAMPLE 8: In Vivo and/or Ex Vivo Models to Determine Ability of Compounds and Pharmaceutical Compositions to Treat, Prevent and/or Delay Onset and/or Development of a 5 Disease or Condition Cardiovascular Diseases or Condition In vivo models of cardiovascular disease can also be used to determine the ability of any of the compounds and pharmaceutical compositions described herein to treat, prevent and/or delay the onset and/or the development of a cardiovascular disease or condition in 10 an individual. An exemplary animal model of heart disease is described below. In vivo cardiovascular effects obtained with a compound or pharmaceutical composition may be assessed in a control (normal) dog. The study is conducted in adult (25 kg) mongrel (male) dogs chronically instrumented for conscious hemodynamic analysis and blood sampling, as previously described (Katori, T. et al., Circ. Res. 2005, 96, 15 234-243.). Micromanometer transducers in the left ventricle provide pressure, while right atrial and descending aortic catheters provide fluid-pressures and sampling conduits. Endocardial sonomicrometers (anteriorposterior, septal-lateral) measure short-axis dimensions, a pneumatic occluder around the inferior vena cave facilitated pre-load manipulations for pressure-relation analysis. Epicardial pacing leads are placed on the right atrium, and another 20 pair is placed on the right ventricle free wall linked to a permanent pacemaker to induce rapid pacing-cardiac failure. After 10 days of recovery, animals are evaluated at baseline sinus rhythm and with atrial pacing (120-160 bpm). Measurements include conscious hemodynamic recordings for cardiac mechanics. Compounds described herein are administrated to a healthy control dog at the dose of 1-5 25 jig/kg/min and the resulting cardiovascular data is obtained. Demonstration that a compound described herein improves cardiac hemodynamics in hearts with congestive failure: After completing protocols under baseline conditions, congestive heart failure is induced by tachypacing (210 bpm x 3 weeks, 240 bpm x 1 week), as previously described (Katori, T. et al., Circ. Res. 2005, 96: 234-243.). Briefly, end-diastolic 30 pressure and dP/dtmax are measured weekly to monitor failure progression. When animals WO 2011/071951 PCT/US2010/059335 112 demonstrate a rise in EDP more than 2x, and dP/dtmax of >50% baseline, they are deemed ready for congestive heart failure studies. The values for test compounds and pharmaceutical compositions are obtained after 15 min continuous i.v. infusion (2.5 or 1.25 tg/kg/min) in control and heart failure preparations, 5 respectively, both in the absence and in the presence of volume restoration. For comparison, the same hemodynamic measurements are obtained with AS in heart failure preparations. Diseases or Conditions Implicating Ischemia/Reperfusion Ex-vivo models of ischemia/reperfusion can also be used to determine the ability of any of the compounds described herein to treat, prevent and/or delay the onset and/or the 10 development of a disease or condition implicating ischemia/reperfusion injury in an individual. An exemplary ex vivo model of ischemia/reperfusion injury is described below. Male Wistar rats are housed in identical cages and allowed access to tap water and a standard rodent diet ad libitum. Each animal is anesthetized with 1 g/kg urethane i.p. 10 min after heparin (2,500 U, i.m.) treatment. The chest is opened, and the heart is rapidly 15 excised, placed in ice-cold buffer solution and weighed. Isolated rat hearts are attached to a perfusion apparatus and retrogradely perfused with oxygenated buffer solution at 370 C. The hearts are instrumented as previously described in Rastaldo et al., Am. J. Physiol. 2001, 280, H2823-H2832, and Paolocci et al., Am. J Physiol. 2000, 279, H1982-H1988. The flow is maintained constant (approximately 9 mL/min/g wet weight) to reach a typical coronary 20 perfusion pressure of 85-90 mrnHg. A constant proportion of 10% of the flow rate is applied by means of one of two perfusion pumps (Terumo, Tokyo, Japan) using a 50 mL syringe connected to the aortic cannula. Drug applications are performed by switching from the syringe containing buffer alone to the syringe of the other pump containing the drug (compound or pharmaceutical composition described herein) dissolved in a vehicle at a 25 concentration 1 Ox to the desired final concentration in the heart. A small hole in the left ventricular wall allows drainage of the thebesian flow, and a polyvinyl- chloride balloon is placed into the left ventricle and connected to an electromanometer for recording of left ventricular pressure (LVP). The hearts are electrically paced at 280-3 00 bpm and kept in a temperature-controlled chamber (37' C.). Coronary perfusion pressure (CPP) and coronary 30 flow are monitored with a second electromanometer and an electromagnetic flow- probe, respectively, both placed along the perfusion line. Left ventricular pressure, coronary flow WO 2011/071951 PCT/US2010/059335 113 and coronary perfusion pressure are recorded using a TEAC R-7 1 recorder, digitized at 1000 Hz and analyzed off-line with DataQ-Instruments/CODAS software, which allow quantification of the maximum rate of increase of LVP during systole (dP/dtmax). Hearts are perfused with Krebs-Henseleit solution gassed with 95% 02 and 5% C02 5 of the following composition: 17.7 mM sodium bicarbonate, 127 mM NaCl, 5.1 mM KCl, 1.5 mM CaCl2, 1.26 mM MgCl2, 11 mM D-glucose, supplemented with 5 p1g/mL lidocaine. The test compound or pharmaceutical compositions are diluted in buffer immediately prior to use. Hearts are allowed to stabilize for 30 min, and baseline parameters are recorded. Typically, coronary flow is adjusted within the first 10 min and kept constant from thereon. 10 After 30 min stabilization, hearts are randomly assigned to one of the treatment groups, and subjected to 30 min global, no-flow ischemia, followed by 30 min of reperfusion (I/R). Pacing of the hearts is stopped at the beginning of the ischemic period and restarted after the third minute of reperfusion. Hearts in a control group are perfused with a buffer for an additional 29 min after 15 stabilization. Treated hearts are exposed to a test compound or pharmaceutical composition (e.g., 1 ptM final concentration for about 20 min followed by a 10 min buffer wash-out period). In all hearts, pacing is suspended at the onset of ischemia and restarted 3 minutes following reperfusion. As isolated heart preparations may deteriorate over time (typically 20 after 2-2.5 hours perfusion), the re-flow duration is limited to 30 minutes in order to minimize the effects produced by crystalloid perfusion on heart performance, and consistently with other reports. Assessment of ventricular function: To obtain the maximal developed LVP, the volume of the intra-ventricular balloon is adjusted to an end-diastolic LVP of 10 mnHg 25 during the stabilization period, as reported in Paolocci, supra, and Hare et al., J. Clin. Invest. 1998, 101, 1424-3 1. Changes in developed LVP, dP/dtmax and the end-diastolic value induced by the I/R protocol are continuously monitored. The difference between the end- diastolic LVP (EDLVP) before the end of the ischemic period and during pre-ischemic conditions is used as an index of the extent of contracture development. Maximal recovery of developed 30 LVP and dP/dtmax during reperfusion is compared with respective pre-ischemic values. WO 2011/071951 PCT/US2010/059335 114 Assessment of myocardial injury: Enzyme release is a measure of severe myocardial injury that has yet to progress to irreversible cell injury. Samples of coronary effluent (2 mL) are withdrawn with a catheter inserted into the right ventricle via the pulmonary artery. Samples are taken immediately before ischemia and at 3, 6, 10, 20 and 30 5 min of reperfusion. LDH release is measured as previously described by Bergmeyer et al., Verlag Chemie 1974. Data are expressed as cumulative values for the entire reflow period. To corroborate the data relative to myocardial injury, determined by LDH release, infarct areas are also assessed in a blinded fashion. At the end of the course (30 min reperfusion), each heart is rapidly removed from the perfusion apparatus, and the LV 10 dissected into 2-3 mm circumferential slices. Following 15 min of incubation at 370 C. in 0.1% solution of nitro blue tetrazolium in phosphate buffer as described in Ma et al., Proc. Natl. A cad. Sci. 1999, 96, 14617-14622, unstained necrotic tissue is separated from the stained viable tissue. The areas of viable and necrotic tissue are carefully separated by an independent observer who is not aware of the origin of the hearts. The weight of the 15 necrotic and non-necrotic tissues is then determined and the necrotic mass expressed as a percentage of total left ventricular mass. Data may be subjected to statistical methods such as ANOVA followed by the Bonferroni correction for post hoc t tests. Cancer 20 Anticancer activities of compounds described herein can be assessed using in vivo mouse xenograft models using methods described in Norris A. J. et al., Intl. J. Cancer 2008, 122, 1905- 1910 and Stoyanovsky, D.A. et al., J. Med. Chem. 2004, 47, 210-217). Mice are inoculated with appropriate tumor cells by subcutaneous injection into the lower flank. Therapy can be started after 1-3 weeks when the tumors have reached an average 25 volume of ~50-60 mm 3 . Tumor diameters are measured with digital calipers, and the tumor volume is calculated. The anti-tumor efficacy of test compounds is assessed by comparison of tumor size in test group to that in the control group. WO 2011/071951 PCT/US2010/059335 115 EXAMPLE 9: In Vivo Animal Studies (Acute Treatment, Intravenous Infusion) This example demonstrates the efficacy of compounds and pharmaceutical compositions described herein to lower pulmonary artery pressure in rats with monocrotaline-induced PH. Rats (250-250 g) are anesthetized via an intra-muscular (i.m.) injection of 5 ketamine/xylazine (80/10 mg/kg). A half dose (40 mg/kg ketamine/5 mg/kg xylazine) is given as supplemental anesthesia as needed. Animals are placed on a heating pad set to maintain body temperature at approximately 37 0 C. Body temperature is monitored throughout the experiment. Once consciousness is lost, a pressure transducer is inserted into a femoral artery to measure arterial blood pressure. A fluid filled catheter is inserted through the right jugular 10 vein into the pulmonary artery to measure pulmonary artery pressure via a pressure transducer. A cannula is placed into the left jugular vein for dosing. Monocrotaline is administered via a single subcutaneous injection (60 mg/kg) approximately 3 weeks prior to the terminal procedure. A baseline pulmonary artery pressure of>30 mmHg is required to initiate study of the compounds described herein. A compound or 15 pharmaceutical composition as described herein is administered intravenously in a dose escalation manner in 20 minute intervals from doses of 10 to 300 gg/kg/min. Hemodynamic indices, including MAP (mean arterial pressure), SAP (systolic arterial pressure), DAP (diastolic arterial pressure), HP (heart rate), MPAP (mean pulmonary arterial pressure), SPAP (systolic arterial pressure), DPAP (diastolic pulmonary arterial pressure), are measured. 20 For the terminal procedure, after surgical instrumentation and an approximate 10 minute pre-dose equilibration period, test compound or pharmaceutical composition solutions are infused via jugular vein catheter. At the end of the experiment, rats are euthanized under anesthesia via pentobarbital overdose. EXAMPLE 10: In Vivo Animal Studies (Acute Treatment, Intravenous Infusion or Inhaled 25 Administration) This example demonstrates the efficacy of the compounds and pharmaceutical compositions described herein to lower pulmonary artery pressure in dogs with hypoxia induced PH. WO 2011/071951 PCT/US2010/059335 116 Healthy dogs (10-15 kg) are anesthetized with pentobarbital (20-40 mg/kg. intravenously) and anesthesia is maintained by continuous infusion of pentobarbital at rate of 5 10 mg/kg/h. Dogs are intubated via a tracheotomy, and artificially respired (while monitoring inspired oxygen and expired CO2). The left femoral vein and artery are cannulated for dose 5 administration and arterial blood pressure recording. The right jugular vein is cannulated with a pulmonary artery pressure catheter (Swan Ganz catheter), to measure both pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) and pulmonary wedge pressure (PWP). This catheter is also used for measurement of cardiac output via thermodilution techniques following rapid injection of cold 5 mL saline. Electrocardiograms are monitored throughout the experiment. 10 During the baseline and control measurements inspired oxygen is maintained at 40%. Hypoxia is induced by adding nitrogen to the respiratory gas at a rate sufficient to reduce respired oxygen to 10% (FiO2=10%). Each hypoxic condition is maintained for 15-30 minutes and then normoxic (FiO2=40%) control condition is returned. Each dose of test compound or pharmaceutical composition is intravenously administered during the 30 minute hypoxic 15 condition; no drug is infused during the subsequent normoxia until the next dose is given. Test compounds or pharmaceutical compositions are given intravenously in the range of 1 to 100 gg/kg/min and various hemodynamic indices are recorded. Alternatively, in this experiment test compounds or pharmaceutical compositions are administered using an inhalation nebulizer at dose levels of 0.1-1 g/kg in 5-10 time period during each hypoxia period. 20 EXAMPLE 11: In Vivo Animal Studies (Chronic Treatment, Continuous Intravenous Infusion) This example demonstrates the efficacy of the compounds and pharmaceutical compositions described herein to retard the progression of disease in rats with monocrotaline induced PH. 25 Rats (200-250g) are surgically implanted with a pressure transducer equipped telemetry transmitter. The transmitter assembly is secured internally; the fluid-filled catheter is placed into the jugular vein with the tip of the pressure transducer positioned in the right ventricle for collection of right ventricular pressure (RVP) data. Additionally, all animals, with the exception of the sham group, are implanted with femoral vein cannulas for the purposes of 30 dosing. WO 2011/071951 PCT/US2010/059335 117 Monocrotaline (MCT) is administered to vehicle-control animals by subcutaneous injection. One week following the MCT injection, the vehicle-control animals are administered saline or a low or high dose of a test compound or pharmaceutical composition by continuous intravenous infusion for two weeks. The test and vehicle control article are administered by 5 external pump. Weekly clinical observations are performed on animals. For cardiovascular evaluations, RVP data is collected with animals allowed free movement in the home cage. The animals are monitored for at least 24 hours prior to MCT administration. RVP is also monitored at 24 hours following the end of the two week infusion, and occurs for at least 24 hours. All animals are necropsied at the end of the study. Weights of 10 lungs and pulmonary artery, heart and each individual chamber are evaluated. The weights of the heart, LV, RV, and ratio to body weight are reported. The small pulmonary arteries from each animal are evaluated for medial thickness, neointima, and smooth muscle hypertrophy. EXAMPLE 12: In Vivo Animal Studies (Chronic Treatment, Oral Administration) This example demonstrates the efficacy of the compounds and pharmaceutical 15 compositions described herein to retard the progression of disease in rats with monocrotaline induced PH. The general methodology for this experiment is similar to that of Example 12 above. One difference is that the route of administration is oral, with a dosing regimen of once to four times daily at dose levels of 0.1-1 g/kg. 20 EXAMPLE 13: In Vivo Animal Studies (Chronic Treatment, Continuous Intravenous Infusion) This example demonstrates the efficacy of the compounds and pharmaceutical compositions described herein to reverse the progression of disease in rats with monocrotaline induced PH. 25 In this study, rats (200-250 g) rats are surgically implanted with a pressure transducer equipped telemetry transmitter.

Additionally, all animals, WO 2011/071951 PCT/US2010/059335 118 with exception of sham group, are implanted with femoral vein cannulas for the purposes of dosing. The vehicle and control article, monocrotaline (MCT), are administered by subcutaneous injection. Three weeks following the MCT injection, animals are administered 5 saline or a low or high dose of a test compound or pharmaceutical composition by continuous intravenous infusion for three weeks. The test compound or pharmaceutical composition and vehicle control article are administered by external pump. Weekly clinical observations are performed on the animals. For cardiovascular evaluations, RVP data is collected with animals allowed free 10 movement in the home cage. The animals are monitored for at least 24 hours prior to MCT administration. RVP is also monitored for at least 24 hours following the end of the two week infusion. All animals are necropsied at the end of the study. Weights of lungs and pulmonary artery, heart and each individual chamber are evaluated. The weights of the heart, LV, RV, and ratio to body weight are reported. The small pulmonary arteries from each animal are evaluated 15 for medial thickness, neointima, and smooth muscle hypertrophy.
