A series of potent PDGFR inhibitors has been identified. The series was optimized for duration of action in the lung. A novel kinase occupancy assay was used to directly measure target occupancy after i.t. dosing. compound 25 shows 24 h occupancy of the PDGFR kinase domain; after a single i.t. dose and has efficacy at 0.03 mg/kg, in the rat moncrotaline model of pulmonary arterial hypertension. Examination of PK/PD data from the optimization effort has revealed in vitro in vivo correlations which link duration of action in vivo with low permeability and high basicity and demonstrate that nonspecific binding to lung tissue increases with lipophilicity.
