The Endothelin-A-Receptor Antagonist PD180988 (CI-1034) Selectively Reverses the Pulmonary Vasoconstrictor Response to Hypoxia in the Lamb
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is assigned a mediator role in the constrictor response of the pulmonary vasculature to hypoxia. Accordingly, a recently developed endothelin-A (ETA) antagonist, PD180988, was tested in the chronically instrumented newborn lamb to verify this possibility and, at the same time, to study a potential new treatment for pulmonary hypertension (PH). PD180988, given by infusion after a priming bolus, had an insignificant effect on the pulmonary circulation under normoxia, while it reversed the sustained pulmonary constriction caused by hypoxia. No appreciable change was noted under either experimental condition in the systemic circulation and cardiac contractility. We conclude that PD180988 is a selective inhibitor of hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction and lends itself to therapeutic use in infants.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
