Darusentan is an endothelin type A (ETA) receptor antagonist (Ki = 13 nM in rat aortic vascular smooth muscle cells).1 It inhibits contractions induced by human endothelin-1 (ET-1; Item No. 24127) in isolated rat aortic rings and mesenteric microvessels with pA2 values of 8.1 and 7.97, respectively. Darusentan (50 mg/kg) decreases systolic blood pressure in DOCA-salt hypertensive rats, as well as reduces mean arterial pressure (MAP) and left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP) in normotensive pigs when administered at doses of 1 and 5 mg/kg.2,3 It reduces myocardial infarct size as a percentage of the area at risk in a porcine model of ischemia-reperfusion injury induced by ligation of the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery.3
