Three-dimensional alignments shown as a top view (A) and the side view (B) of the 11-molecule cluster of ET antagonists using ChemAxon Marvin tool at default settings to perform a flexible overlap of atoms via on-the-fly adjustments. The following 11 were selected as having high affinity: peptide antagonist FR139317 and nonpeptide antagonists, A127722, ambrisentan, avosentan, darusentan, macitentan, PD156707, PD164333, SB234551, sitaxentan, and zibotentan. Top (C) and side view (D) of a three-molecule cluster of ETB peptide antagonist, BQ788, and nonpeptide antagonists A192621 and RO468443.
