Abstract
Herein, 8-substituted guanine and/or 8-substituted guanosine compounds are used in methods to treat hypertension (such as systemic or pulmonary hypertension), stroke, diabetes, and/or patients in need of a diuretic. In addition, 8-substituted guanine and/or 8-substituted guanosine compounds are included in a beverage composition, which can be a fermented beverage, such as wine. Further, purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNPase) inhibitors (such as 8-substituted guanine and/or 8-substituted guanosine) and/or PNPase purine nucleoside substrates (such as guanosine and/or inosine) can be used in methods of treating or reducing the risk of pulmonary hypertension (PH), such as PH associated with HIV or sickle cell disease (SCD). PNPase inhibitors (such as 8-substituted guanine and/or 8-substituted guanosine) and/or PNPase purine nucleoside substrates (such as guanosine and/or inosine) can also be used in methods of treating SCD or reducing sickling of red blood cells (RBCs).
