Aprocitentan D4 (ACT-132577 D4) is a deuterium-labeled Aprocitentan. Aprocitentan is a major and pharmacologically active metabolite of Macitentan. Aprocitentan is a dual ETAETB antagonist (IC50s: 3.4 nM and 987 nM; pA2s: 6.7 and 5.5).
Macitentan n-butyl analogue, a derivative of Macitentan, functions as an orally active dual antagonist targeting both endothelin ETA and ETB receptors. This compound shows promise for treating idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), leveraging its non-peptide structure for potential therapeutic applications.
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
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
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].

Sclerotiorin is a natural product isolated primarily from Penicillium species. It inhibits soybean lipoxygenase-1 with an IC50 value of 4.2 μM. Sclerotiorin also exhibits a number of other activities including inhibition of cholesterol ester transfer protein (IC50 = 19.4 μM),, inhibition of Grb2-Shc interaction (IC50 = 22 μM),, and antagonism of endothelin receptors (IC50 = 114 and 152 μM for human ETA and ETB, respectively).
