A-192621 is a potent, nonpeptide, orally active and selective endothelin B (ETB) receptor antagonist with an IC50 of 4.5 nM and a Ki of 8.8 nM. A-192621 promotes apoptosis in PASMCs and it also causes elevation of arterial blood pressure and an elevation
BMS-248360 is a potent and orally active dual antagonist of both angiotensin II receptor (AT1) and endothelin A (ETA) receptor. With Kis of 10 nM and 1.9 nM for hAT1 and hETA receptor, respectively. BMS-248360 shows hypertensive effects[1].
Endothelin 1 (swine, human), a synthetic peptide mirroring the sequence of both human and swine Endothelin 1, functions as a robust endogenous vasoconstrictor by interacting with two receptor types, ETA and ETB.
ENDOTHELIN-1 (ET-1), the principal peptide of the endothelin family, has been shown to have a variety of biological activities in both vascular and nonvascular tissues. The C-terminal fragment, which is a highly conserved sequence in the peptides of t
J-104132 is a potetn and selective endothelin A B receptor antagonist (Ki: cloned human ETA = 0.034 nM; cloned human ETB = 0.104 nM) . In vitro, J-104132 is a potent antagonist of ET-1-induced accumulation of [3H]inositol phosphates in Chinese hamster ova
ACT-373898 is a metabolite of the endothelin (ET) receptor type A (ETA) and ETBdual antagonist macitentan .1 1.Dingemanse, J., Sidharta, P.N., Maddrey, W.C., et al.Efficacy, safety and clinical pharmacology of macitentan in comparison to other endothelinreceptor antagonists in the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertensionExpert Opin.

Nebentan (YM598) is a potent, selective and orally active non-peptide endothelin ETA receptor antagonist through the modification of Bosentan . Nebentan inhibits [125I] endothelin-1 binding to cloned human endothelin ETA and ETB receptor, with Ki of 0.697 nM and 569 nM, respectively[1]. YM598 can ameliorate the progression of cor pulmonale and myocardial infarction in vivo[2]. Nebentan inhibits the specific binding of [125I] endothelin-1 to endothelin ETA and ETB receptors in a concentration dependent manner,Ki values are 0.697 nM and 1.53 nM for human and rat endothelin ETA receptors, respectively. In contrast, YM598 exhibits low affinities for human and rat endothelin ETB receptors, with Ki values of 569 nM and 155 nM,respectively[1].In measurement of intracellular Ca2+ concentration, Nebentan concentration-dependently inhibits the increase in [Ca2+]i induced by 10 nM endothelin-1 in both CHO cells and A10 cells, the IC50 values are 26.2 nM for CHO cells and 26.7 nM for A10 cells, respectively[1]. Nebentan (oral administration; 0.1-1 mg kg; 4 weeks) significantly inhibits the progression of pulmonary hypertension and the development of right ventricular hypertrophy[2].Nebentan (oral administration; 1 mg kg; 30 weeks) significantly ameliorates the poor survival rate of CHF rats, it markedly reduces the hypertrophy of both ventricles as well as pulmonary congestion[2].

Thrombin receptor agonist peptide (TRAP-14) is a 14-amino acid peptide agonist of the α-thrombin receptor. It induces aggregation of washed platelets as well as platelets in citrated and hirudin plasma. TRAP-14 (100 μM) increases the cytosolic calcium concentration in isolated guinea pig pulmonary smooth muscle cells 5-fold over baseline. It increases pulmonary arterial pressure in isolated guinea pig lung when used at a concentration of 1 μM, which is comparable to the effect induced by 10 nM α-thrombin. TRAP-14 also induces contraction of isolated rat aortic rings and increases endothelin-1 (ET-1) levels in a dose-dependent manner, an effect that is reversed by the ETA antagonist BQ-123 and the nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor L-NNA .
Desmethyl bosentan is an active metabolite of the endothelinreceptor antagonist bosentan .1Desmethyl bosentan (25 μM) activates the pregnane X receptor (PXR) in CV-1 monkey kidney cells expressing the human receptor in a reporter assay. 1.van Giersbergen, P.L.M., Gnerre, C., Treiber, A., et al.Bosentan, a dual endothelinreceptor antagonist, activates the pregnane X nuclear receptorBr.
