Macitentan is an orally available dual endothelin receptor (ETR) antagonist with potential antihypertensive and antineoplastic activity. Upon administration, macitentan and its metabolites block the binding of endothelin isoform 1 (ET-1) to type-A and type-B ETR on both the tumor cells and the endothelial cells in the tumor vasculature. This prevents ET-1 mediated signaling transduction which may decrease tumor cell proliferation, progression, and angiogenesis in tumor tissue. ET-1, a potent vasoconstrictor that plays an important role in inflammation and tissue repair, is, together with its receptors, overexpressed varyingly in many tumor cell types.
Macitentan is an Endothelin Receptor Antagonist. The mechanism of action of macitentan is as an Endothelin Receptor Antagonist.

5.5 Absorption, Distribution and Excretion

Absorption

Macitentan has a median Tmax of 8h although some studies have found up to 30h at higher doses. Although the bioavailability has not been experimentally determined, pharmacokinetic modeling has estimated it at 74%. Food has not been found to have a significant effect on absorption.


Route of Elimination

Eliminated 50% through urine and 24% through feces. Of the 50% excreted through the urine, none of the recovered dose was in the form of the parent drug nor the active metabolite.


Volume of Distribution

Macitentan has an apparent volume of distribution of 40-50L.


Clearance

Clearance data was not found.


5.6 Metabolism/Metabolites

Macitentan undergoes oxidative depropylation of the sulfonamide moiety via CYP3A4, 2C8, 2C9, and 2C19 to form the active metabolite M6. The ethylene glycol moiety undergoes oxidative cleavage via CYP2C9 to the alcohol metabolite M4. M4 is oxidized to its corresponding acid, M5, then hydrolyzed to the metabolite termed m/z 324. Oxidative depropylation of a distal carbon atom via CYP2C8, 2C9, and 2C19 forms M7. Hydrolysis of both macitentan and M5 produces M3. Finally M5 may be further metabolized via hydrolysis and hydroxylation to M2 or via glucuronidation to a glucuronide metabolite, M1.


5.7 Biological Half-Life

The half-life of elimination of macitentan is 16 hours. The half-life of elimination of the active metabolite is 40-66h


5.8 Mechanism of Action

Through complete blockade of tissular endothelin, Actelion-1 is expected to protect tissue from the damaging effect of elevated endothelin, specifically in the cardiovascular system. In pre-clinical studies, Actelion-1 also exhibited effects suggesting that it maintains the integrity of the vascular wall and improves long-term outcome. Accordingly, Actelion-1 may provide therapeutic benefit in a wide range of cardiovascular indications.


Macitentan is an antagonist which binds to the endothelin A and B receptors (EA and EB) and blocks signaling from endothelin-1 and -2. Pulmonary arterial hypertension has many different mechanisms which contribute to the development of endothelial dysfunction including elevated cytosolic calcium, genetic factors, epigenetic changes, and mitochondrial dysfunction. The focus of macitentan's mechanism relates to the role of overexpressed endothelin from the vascular endothelium. Endothelins are released in both a constitutive fashion from secretory vesicles and in response to stimuli via Weibel-Palade storage granules. Endothelins bind to the EA and EB receptors, with endothelins -1 and -2 having more affinity than endothelin-3. Binding to the Gq coupled EA receptor triggers Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum of smooth muscle cells via the phospholipase C (PLC) pathway. Downstream protein kinase C activation may also contribute to increased Ca2+ sensitivity of the contractile apparatus. EA receptor activation is also known to contribute to pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell proliferation. The binding of endothelins to the EB receptors acts in opposition to EA signaling by activating the same PLC cascade in endothelial cells to activate endothelial nitric oxide synthase. The subsequent release of nitric oxide produces vasodilation through the cyclic guanosine monophosphate cascade. Despite the greater presence of EB receptors on endothelial cells, they are still present on smooth muscle cells and may contribute to cell proliferation through the same mechanisms as EA receptors. Macitentan is thought to provide its therapeutic effect primarily via blocking signaling through EA which produces both decreased vasoconstriction via reduced smooth muscle cell contractility and attenuation of the hyperproliferation of smooth muscle cells found in PAH. Blockade of EB is less likely to contribute to a therapeutic effect as this signaling is responsible for the counter-regulatory vasodilatory signal.
