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
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].

BE-24566B is a polyketide fungal metabolite originally isolated fromS. violaceusniger.1It is active againstB. subtilis,B. cereus,S. aureus,M. luteus,E. faecalis, andS. thermophilus(MICs = 1.56, 1.56, 1.56, 1.56, 3.13, and 3.13 μg/ml, respectively). BE-24566B is an endothelin (ET) receptor antagonist (IC50s = 11 and 3.9 μM for ETAand ETBreceptors, respectively).2 1.Kojiri, K., Nakajima, S., Fuse, A., et al.BE-24566B, a new antibiotic produced by Streptomyces violaceusnigerJ.

Sulfisoxazole diethanolamine, also known as Sulfafurazole diethanolamine, is a sulfonamide antibacterial compound with an oxazole substituent. It acts as an endothelin receptor antagonist, specifically targeting endothelin receptor A with an IC50 value of 0.60 μM and endothelin receptor B with an IC50 value of 22 μM. Additionally, Sulfisoxazole diethanolamine has been found to inhibit the release of breast cancer exosomes by specifically targeting endothelin receptor A [1] [2].
Endothelin-1 is one of the there isoforms of endothelin (identified as ET-1, -2, -3) with varying regions of expression and binding to at least four known endothelin receptors, ETA, ETB1, ETB2 and ETC.
JKC 301, a selective Endothelin A receptor antagonist, attenuates the pressor effects of nicotine in rats and can be used to study cardiovascular disease caused by smoking [1] [2].
