Macitentan

Dual endothelin receptor antagonist (ETA/ETB antagonist)

Description

Dual ERA for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Reduces pulmonary vascular resistance and right ventricular afterload by blocking both endothelin receptors.

Mechanism of action

Non-selective dual antagonism of ETA and ETB endothelin receptors on pulmonary vascular smooth muscle and endothelium, reducing pulmonary vasoconstriction and disease progression.
