Darusentan

Description:
Darusentan is a drug that is used to treat chronic heart failure. It is a selective endothelin receptor antagonist, which blocks the binding of endothelin-1 to the receptor and prevents the activation of the receptor. This drug has been shown to be beneficial for patients with congestive heart failure who are not on β-blockers. Darusentan has been shown to reduce systolic pressure in these patients, as well as improve cardiac function, kidney fibrosis and reverse experimental models of kidney disease.
