Sitaxsentan has a low drug-drug interaction potential and it did not have a clinically relevant effect on pharmacokinetics of sildenafil (a CYP3A sensitive substrate and PDE5 inhibitor). Tadalafil did not have clinically relevant effect on pharmacokinetics of bosentan and ambrisentan. Based on overall clinical drug-drug interaction profiles, and in vitro CYP enzymes and transporter data, a clinically relevant drug-drug interaction between sitaxsentan and tadalafil is not expected. Sildenafil is not expected to affect sitaxsentan pharmacokinetics (PK), as sitaxsentan is a substrate of CYP3A4 and CYP2C9, where sildenafil did not show clinically relevant effect on PK of substrates of CYP3A4 and CYP2C9.

Time to Reach Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Tmax)
Time frame: Day 6 (predose and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, and 24 hours post dose)
Trough Plasma Concentrations (Ctrough)
Minimum or "trough"concentrations
Time frame: Day 6 (predose and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, and 24 hours post dose)
Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax)
Time frame: Day 6 (predose and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, and 24 hours post dose)
Area Under the Curve of the 24 Hour Dosing Interval (AUC24)
Time frame: Day 6 (predose and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, and 24 hours post dose)
Apparent Oral Clearance (CL/F)
Clearance of a drug is a measure of the rate at which a drug is metabolized or eliminated by normal biological processes. Clearance obtained after oral dose (apparent oral clearance) is influenced by the fraction of the dose absorbed. Clearance was estimated from population pharmacokinetic (PK) modeling. Drug clearance is a quantitative measure of the rate at which a drug substance is removed from the blood.
Time frame: Day 6 (predose and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, and 24 hours post dose)
Volume of Distribution at Steady State (Vss)
Volume of distribution is defined as the theoretical volume in which the total amount of drug would need to be uniformly distributed to produce the desired blood concentration of a drug. Steady state volume of distribution (Vss) is the apparent volume of distribution at steady-state.
Time frame: Day 6 (predose and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, and 24 hours post dose)
Plasma Decay Half-Life (t1/2)
Plasma decay half-life is the time measured for the plasma concentration to decrease by one half.
Time frame: Day 6 (predose and 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, and 24 hours post dose)
