Description
Macitentan is a member of the class of sulfamides in which the two amino groups of sulfonamide are substituted by 5-(4-bromophenyl)-6-{2-[(5-bromopyrimidin-2-yl)oxy]ethoxy}pyrimidin-4-yl and propyl groups. An orphan drug used for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension. It has a role as an endothelin receptor antagonist, an antihypertensive agent and an orphan drug. It is an organobromine compound, a member of pyrimidines, an aromatic ether, a ring assembly and a member of sulfamides. It is functionally related to an ethylene glycol and an ACT-132577.
