“…Selectivity of 7z was in the lead (441000-fold) compared with other ET A selective compounds such as BMS193884, atrasentan, Cl-1034, Z1611 and sitaxsentan (going from 1400- to 7000-fold). Except for peptides BQ123, TAK-044, and the iv drug tezosentan, most small molecule antagonists are generally >50% orally available, with 7z being close to 100% in rats and 80% in humans 1c8 Comparisons of 7z with Lead Endothelin Antagonists generic name/code | ET A IC 50 (nM) | ET A K i (nM) | selectivity for ET A over ET B (fold) | oral availability (%) | t 1/2 (h) | references |
