Aprocitentan, A Dual Endothelin Receptor Antagonist Under Development for the Treatment of Resistant Hypertension [PDF]
Aprocitentan (ACT-132577) is an orally active, dual endothelin-1 (ET-1) receptor antagonist that prevents the binding of ET-1 to both ETA/ETB receptors. It is an active metabolite of macitentan (obtained by oxidative depropylation), an orphan drug used for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension. Aprocitentan is highly bound to plasma proteins

Aprocitentan and the endothelin system in resistant hypertension
Endothelin has emerged as a target for therapeutic intervention in systemic hypertension. As a vasoconstrictor, comitogenic agent, linking pulse pressure and vascular remodeling, and mediator of aldosterone and catecholamine release, endothelin is a key player in hypertension and end-organ damage.

Aprocitentan is a novel, oral, dual endothelin receptor antagonist (ERA) in development in difficult‐to‐control hypertension. As fluid retention and edema are concerns with ERAs, we investigated whether aprocitentan causes weight gain in healthy subjects on a high sodium diet and explored potential mechanisms if occurring. This double‐blind, randomized,

Dual Endothelin Antagonism with Aprocitentan as a Novel Therapeutic Approach for Resistant Hypertension. [PDF]
Abstract Purpose of Review Resistant hypertension (RH) defined as uncontrolled blood pressure despite the use of a combination of a renin-angiotensin system blocker, a calcium channel blocker, and a diuretic at maximally tolerated doses is associated with a substantially increased risk of cardiovascular and renal events.

Endothelin receptor antagonists (ERAs) can potentially be used as therapeutic drugs to reduce hypertension caused by small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) [PDF]
The emergence of targeted anti-tumor drugs has significantly prolonged the lifespan and improved the prognosis of cancer patients. Among these drugs, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) inhibitors, particularly novel small molecule tyrosine kinase ...

Aprocitentan in hypertension management: clinical efficacy, safety, and future prospects. [PDF]
Hypertension (HTN) is a prevalent medical condition characterized by systolic blood pressure ≥ 130 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure ≥ 80 mm Hg. In 2010, the global prevalence of HTN was 31.1%, with higher rates in men and low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
