Chemical Structure

Biological activities

Bosentan is a dual endothelin receptor antagonist used in the treatment of pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH). Bosentan is a competitive antagonist of endothelin-1 at the endothelin-A (ET-A) and endothelin-B (ET-B) receptors with IC50 values of 10 and 900 nM, respectively. Bosentan competitively antagonizes the specific binding of endothelin-1 on human smooth muscle cells (ET-A receptors) with a Ki value of 4.7 nM and on human placenta (ET-B receptors) with a Ki value of 95 nM.[1] In the isolated perfused and ventilated rat lung (IPL), bosentan completely prevents the IRL1620-induced vasoconstriction with an IC50 of 3 µM.[2] Pretreatment with bosentan (100 mg/kg/day) completely blocks the pulmonary vasoconstrictor response to acute hypoxia. Chronic bosentan treatment (100 mg/kg/day) instituted 48 hours before hypoxic exposure prevents the subsequent development of pulmonary hypertension, attenuates the associated right heart hypertrophy, and prevents the remodeling of small (50-100 microns) pulmonary arteries without altering systemic arterial pressure.[3]

Protocols

In vivo: Bosentan is dissolved in distilled water.[3]
