This invention is directed to methods of preventing or treating diseases or conditions of the lungs associated with excessive cell proliferation, remodeling, inflammation, vasoconstriction, bronchoconstriction, airway hyperreactivity and edema. Particularly, this invention is directed to methods of treating pulmonary diseases such as asthma; chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; respiratory tract illness caused by respiratory syncytial virus; pulmonary arterial hypertension; acute respiratory distress syndrome and ventilator induced lung injury; cystic fibrosis; bronchiectasis; alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency; rhinitis; rhinosinusitis; primary ciliary dyskinesia; pneumonia; bronchiolitis caused by agents other than respiratory syncytial virus; and interstitial lung disease including lymphangioleiomyomatosis; idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis; obliterative bronchiolitis or bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia due to lung transplantation or HSCT; nonspecific interstitial pneumonia; cryptogenic organizing pneumonia; acute interstitial pneumonia; respiratory bronchiolitis-associated interstitial lung disease; or pulmonary sarcoidosis. The method comprises administering to a subject an effective amount of a rho kinase inhibitor compound to treat the disease.

A mutual prodrug of a corticosteroid and a substituted phenylphosphate (ss-agonist derivative) for formulation for delivery by aerosolization to inhibit pulmonary inflammation and bronchoconstriction is described. The mutual prodrug is preferably formulated in a small volume solution (10-500 L) dissolved in a quarter normal saline having pH between 5.0 and 7.0 for the treatment of respiratory tract inflammation and bronchoconstriction by an aerosol having mass median average diameter predominantly between 1 to 5 , produced by nebulization or by dry powder inhaler.

The compound of formula (I)is a water-stable, long acting β2-selective adrenoceptor agonist useful as a bronchodilator in the treatment of bronchoconstriction associated with reversible obstructive airways diseases and the like.

The present invention relates generally to a method of inducing, stimulating or otherwise facilitating bronchoprotection in humans and animals by modulating bronchial constriction and / or inflammation. The present invention is predicated in part on the identification of receptors in airway epithelium which mediate inhibition of bronchoconstriction and / or inflammation following their activation. More particularly, the present invention identifies that activation of protease activated receptors (PARs) results in relaxation of airway epithelium. Activation of airway epithelium PARs inhibits bronchoconstriction and / or inflammation and thereby mediates bronchoprotection of the airways. The present invention further provides a method for the prophylaxis and treatment of disease conditions in airways such as asthma and bronchitis and further provides methods for the diagnosis and screening of agents useful in the prophylaxis and treatment of airway disease conditions.

A carboxylic acid compound represented by formula (I): (meanings of the symbols in the formula are as mentioned in the specification) and a pharmaceutical agent comprising the compound. <>Since the compound represented by formula (I) binds to a DP receptor and shows antagonistic activity for the DP receptor, it is useful for prevention and / or treatment of diseases such as allergic disease (such as allergic rhinitis, allergic conjunctivitis, atopic dermatitis, bronchial asthma and food allergy), systemic mastocytosis, disorders accompanied by systemic mast cell activation, anaphylaxis shock, bronchoconstriction, urticaria, eczema, diseases accompanied by itch (such as atopic dermatitis and urticaria), diseases (such as cataract, retinal detachment, inflammation, infection and sleeping disorders) which is generated secondarily as a result of behavior accompanied by itch (such as scratching and beating), inflammation, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, ischemic reperfusion injury, cerebrovascular accident, chronic rheumatoid arthritis, pleurisy, ulcerative colitis and the like. Carboxylic acid compounds represented by the following general formula (I) (wherein each symbol is as defined in the description) and drugs containing these compounds: (I) Because of binding to DP receptor and antagonizing the same, the compounds represented by the general formula (I) are useful in preventing and / or treating allergic diseases (allergic nephritis, allergic conjunctivitis, atopic dermatitis, bronchial asthma, food allergy, etc.), systemic mast cell disease, systemic mast cell activation failure, anaphylactic shock, respiratory tract contraction, urticaria, eczema, diseases associated with itch (atopic dermatitis, urticaria, etc.), diseases (cataract, retinal detachment, inflammation, infection, sleep disorder, etc.) secondarily caused by behaviors associating itch (scratching, beating.
