The effect of liposomal fasudil on the pulmonary hemodynamics in Sugen/hypoxia PAH rats after administration of (a) fasudil in no-CAR-liposomes, (b) CAR pretreatment followed by fasudil in no-CAR-liposomes and (c) fasudil in CAR-liposomes. (d) Targeting indices of fasudil after IT administration in various forms. The dose of fasudil was 3 mg/kg (rat body weight) or liposomes containing equivalent amount of fasudil and the dose of CAR was 0.5 mg/kg (data represent mean ± SD, n = 3; *p < 0.05, §p < 0.005, ?p < 0.001).
