BQ-3020
BQ-3020 is a selective endothelin receptor (ETB receptor) agonist that displaces [125I] ET-1 binding to ETB receptors, with an IC50 value of 0.2 nM. BQ-3020 elicits vasoconstriction in the rabbit pulmonary artery. BQ-3020 makes relaxation of the pig urinary bladder neck and can be used for cardiovascular disease research12.

Biological Activity
|
ETB 0.2 nM (IC50) |
BQ-3020 (0.01–300 nM, 7 min), produced concentration-dependent relaxationso on PhE-precontracted urothelium-denuded strips[1].
BQ-3020 (0.01–200 nM, 20 min) causes potent dose-dependent vasoconstriction with EC50 values of 0.57nM in rabbit pulmonary arteries by inhibiting ETB receptors[2].
