Description

Pale Yellow to Off-White SolidBosentan was introduced in the US as a twice-daily oral treatment for pulmonary arterial hypertension. It can be synthesized in five steps via condensation of diethyl (2- methoxyphenoxy)malonate with pyrimidine-2-carboxamidine to give the precursor of the symmetrical central dichloropyrimidine ring which is then successively treated with the potassium salt of 4-tert-butylbenzenesulfonamide and the sodium salt of ethylene gycol. Bosentan is the first endothelin

Toxicity

Bosentan has been given as a single dose of up to 2400 mg in normal volunteers, or up to 2000 mg/day for 2 months in patients, without any major clinical consequences. The most common side effect was headache of mild to moderate intensity. In the cyclosporine A interaction study, in which doses of 500 and 1000 mg b.i.d. of bosentan were given concomitantly with cyclosporine A, trough plasma concentrations of bosentan increased 30-fold, resulting in severe headache, nausea, and vomiting, but no serious adverse events. Mild decreases in blood pressure and increases in heart rate were observed. There is no specific experience of overdosage with bosentan beyond the doses described above. Massive overdosage may result in pronounced hypotension requiring active cardiovascular support.

Bosentan is associated with elevations in serum aminotransferase levels above three times the upper limit of the normal range (ULN) in 3% to 18% of patients, averaging 7.6% using currently recommended doses. The enzyme elevations are usually self-limited and are rarely accompanied by symptoms, but can be more marked and persist and require dose reduction or discontinuation (in 3% to 4% of patients). Monthly monitoring of serum aminotransferase levels is recommended, with discontinuation for levels above 8 times the ULN or for values above 5 times the ULN that persist. There have also been rare reports of clinically apparent liver injury with jaundice associated with bosentan use. The onset of illness was usually within 1 to 6 months of starting bosentan, but cases arising during chronic therapy have also been described (Case 1). The enzyme pattern has typically been hepatocellular or mixed. Immunoallergic features are usually not present and autoantibodies are usually absent or present in low titer. Some cases have been severe and fatalities have been reported, but there have been no published reports of chronic hepatitis or vanishing bile duct syndrome attributed to bosentan. Autoimmune and immunoallergic features are usually not present.

Bosentan is an endothelin receptor antagonist used in the therapy of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Bosentan has been associated with serum enzyme elevations during therapy and with rare instances of clinically apparent acute liver injury.

Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension Agents

Bosentan belongs to a class of drugs known as endothelin receptor antagonists (ERAs). Patients with PAH have elevated levels of endothelin, a potent blood vessel constrictor, in their plasma and lung tissue. Bosentan blocks the binding of endothelin to its receptors, thereby negating endothelin's deleterious effects.

Drugs used in the treatment of acute or chronic vascular HYPERTENSION regardless of pharmacological mechanism. Among the antihypertensive agents are DIURETICS; (especially DIURETICS, THIAZIDE); ADRENERGIC BETA-ANTAGONISTS; ADRENERGIC ALPHA-ANTAGONISTS; ANGIOTENSIN-CONVERTING ENZYME INHIBITORS; CALCIUM CHANNEL BLOCKERS; GANGLIONIC BLOCKERS; and VASODILATOR AGENTS.

Absolute bioavailability is approximately 50% and food does not affect absorption.|Bosentan is eliminated by biliary excretion following metabolism in the liver.|18 L|4 L/h [patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension]

Bosentan is metabolized in the liver by the cytochrome P450 enzymes CYP2C9 and CYP3A4 (and possibly CYP2C19), producing three metabolites, one of which, Ro 48-5033, is pharmacologically active and may contribute 10 to 20% to the total activity of the parent compound.|Bosentan has known human metabolites that include 4-tert-butyl-N-[6-(2-hydroxyethoxy)-5-(2-hydroxyphenoxy)-[2,2-]bipyrimidinyl-4-yl]-benzenesulfonamide and Hydroxy Bosentan.

Terminal elimination half-life is about 5 hours in healthy adult subjects.

Endothelin-1 (ET-1) is a neurohormone, the effects of which are mediated by binding to ETA and ETB receptors in the endothelium and vascular smooth muscle. It displays a slightly higher affinity towards ETA receptors than ETB receptors. ET-1 concentrations are elevated in plasma and lung tissue of patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension, suggesting a pathogenic role for ET-1 in this disease. Bosentan is a specific and competitive antagonist at endothelin receptor types ETA and ETB.

Drug Function and Efficacy

This product is a dual endothelin receptor antagonist with affinity for ETA and ETB receptors. Bosentan can reduce pulmonary and systemic vascular resistance, thereby increasing cardiac output without increasing heart rate. By competing with ETA and ETB receptors, it reduces pulmonary vascular resistance, reverses pulmonary vascular and right ventricular hypertrophy, and also shows the effect of reducing collagen deposition in animal models.

This ingredient has been used in drugs with the following functions (note: it does not mean that the ingredient itself has the following health functions)
