dc.descriptionA method and compositions for treating persistent pulmonary hypertension in human newborns that deploys an intravenous infusion of a modified drug formed by adding one or more of a predetermined chemical arrangement to an efficacious parent drug compound so as to retain efficacy while re-directing a preferred route and rate of the parent drug compound's metabolism to an inactive or very weakly active and non-toxic metabolite are disclosed. The chemical arrangement is wherein f is a phenyl, substituted aryl or heteroaryl system that is already present in the parent drug compound or is specifically added to the parent drug compound via a metabolically stable connection;R is an alkyl or alkene containing chain either branched or unbranched from 0 to 10 carbons that is already present in the parent drug compound or is added to the parent drug compound via a metabolically stable connection to f;X is a carboxyl, sulfoxyl or phosphatyl function that is specifically added to the parent drug compound via a metabolically stable connection to R; and,R' is an added alkyl, alkenyl or aralkyl group either branched or unbranched containing from 1 to 10 carbons, or is a structural element already present as an inherent portion of the parent drug compound.
