Abstract
Aprocitentan (TRYVIO™) is a once-daily oral dual endothelin A (ETA) and B (ETB) receptor antagonist developed by Idorsia Pharmaceuticals for the treatment of hypertension. The endothelin pathway has been implicated in hypertension. Aprocitentan inhibits the binding of endothelin-1 to ETA and ETB receptors, thereby preventing its deleterious effects and lowering blood pressure. In March 2024, aprocitentan received its first approval in the USA for the treatment of hypertension in combination with other antihypertensive drugs, to lower blood pressure in adults who are not adequately controlled on other drugs. This article summarizes the milestones in the development of aprocitentan leading to this first approval for hypertension not adequately controlled on other drugs.

Drugs is a journal that aims to enhance pharmacotherapy by publishing review and original research articles on key aspects of clinical pharmacology and therapeutics. The journal includes:
Leading/current opinion articles providing an overview of contentious or emerging issues.
Definitive reviews of drugs and drug classes, and their place in disease management.
Therapy in Practice articles including recommendations for specific clinical situations.
High-quality, well designed, original clinical research.
Adis Drug Evaluations reviewing the properties and place in therapy of both newer and established drugs.
AdisInsight Reports summarising development at first global approval.
Moreover, the journal offers additional digital features such as animated abstracts, video abstracts, instructional videos, and podcasts to increase visibility and educational value. Plain language summaries accompany articles to assist readers with some knowledge of the field in understanding important medical advances.
