Background. Sildenafil (Pfizer Pharmaceuticals, Sandwich, Kent, UK) has been associated with pulmonary vasorelaxation. A more potent Sildenafil analogue (UK 343-664 [Pfizer Pharmaceuticals]) has been developed, but its effects in vivo have not been studied. This study evaluated the effects of UK 343-664 (Pfizer) during acute pulmonary hypertension.Methods. Fourteen adult swine were anesthetized with 1 minimum alveolar concentration isoflurane and were mechanically ventilated with an FIO2 of 50%. End tidal CO, was maintained between 32 and 36 mm Hg. Micro-manometer tipped catheters were placed in the ascending aorta, pulmonary artery, and right ventricle. Pulmonary flow was measured with a perivascular probe using transit time ultrasound. Pulmonary hypertension was induced with a continuous infusion of the thromboxane analogue U46619. Animals were randomized into two groups. Group 1 (n=9) received 500 mug of UK 343-664 (Pfizer) intravenously for more than 2 minutes. Group 2 (n=5) served as the control group. Data were recorded continuously for 60 minutes. Statistical analyses were performed with the analysis of variance and t tests. A p less than 0.05 was considered significant.Results. Pulmonary hypertension was achieved in all animals. The administration of UK 343-664 (Pfizer) was associated with a significant decrease in pulmonary artery pressure (30.3%; p
