Biochem/physiol Actions

Macitentan (ACT-064992; actelion-1) is an orally active, potent endothelin (ET) receptor antagonist that blocks ET-1-induced cellular calicum response (IC50 in nM = 0.9/HPASMC, 0.8/RASMC, 1.84/m3T3), as well as ET-1-induced contractions of rat aortic rings (ETA) and S6c-induced rat tracheal rings (ETB) ex vivo (pA2 = 7.6 and 5.9, respectively). Macitentan displays therapeutic efficacy in rat hypertension models in vivo (0.3-100 mg/kg p.o. via single or daily dosing).

Pulmonary arterial hypertension is a severe respiratory disease characterized by pulmonary artery remodeling. RV dysfunction and dysregulated circulating metabolomics are associated with adverse outcomes in pulmonary arterial hypertension. We investigated effects of tadalafil and macitentan alone or in combination on
