Sitaxentan is a selective endothelin-A (ETA) receptor antagonist developed for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), where it reduces pulmonary vascular resistance by blocking endothelin-1-mediated vasoconstriction. Unlike dual endothelin receptor antagonists, its selectivity for ETA preserves the vasodilatory and clearance functions of the ETB receptor while blocking the vasoconstrictive ETA pathway. It was withdrawn from the market due to severe hepatotoxicity, including fatal cases.
