Mechanism of Action
Macitentan is an antagonist/blocker of endothelin receptors. Endothelin receptors are found in the endothelial cells of blood vessels and smooth muscle. Macitentan binds to the receptors, endothelin A and B (ETA and ETB), which prevents the agonist endothelin -1 (ET-1) from binding and stimulating the ETA and ETB receptors.
