Endothelin receptor antagonists

Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 2006
Endothelin receptor antagonists (ERAs) have been developed to block the effects of endothelin-1 (ET-1) in a variety of cardiovascular conditions. ET-1 is a powerful vasoconstrictor with mitogenic or co-mitogenic properties, which acts through the stimulation of 2 subtypes of receptors [endothelin receptor subtype A (ETA) and endothelin receptor subtype

Endothelin Receptor Antagonists

2013
Three pathways have been identified in the pathogenesis of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH): the endothelin (ET), nitric oxide (NO) and prostacyclin pathways. These pathways represent the targets of approved PAH therapies and their discovery has facilitated significant progress in the understanding and treatment of PAH.

Endothelin receptor antagonists

World Journal of Urology, 2005
Hormone refractory prostate cancer remains true to its middle name: it is largely refractory to attempts to delay its progression. New targets and new therapies are demanded. Through a review of the available literature on endothelin and several preclinical observations, the endothelin axis has emerged as one such target.

The endothelin system and endothelin receptor antagonists

Current Opinion in Nephrology & Hypertension, 2012
There is increasing evidence that endothelin receptor blockade and, in particular, ET(A) receptor blockade not only confers protection against proteinuric renal disease in diabetes but also confers vasculoprotection.Recent clinical trials using ET(A) receptor blockade in treating proteinuria and chronic kidney disease as well as atherosclerosis show ...

Endothelin, endothelin receptors, and endothelin antagonists

Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension, 1994
Endothelin is a peptide with potent biologic effects in vascular and nonvascular cells. Its effects are mediated by two receptors, ETA and ETB, and possibly also by a third receptor, ETC. In vascular smooth muscle cells, endothelin causes profound contraction and also has proliferative effects, mainly through activation of ETA but also through ETB ...
