Selexipag

Selexipag is a Prostacyclin receptor agonist, that causes vasodilation in pulmonary vasculature and is used in the therapy of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Undergoes hydrolytic removal of the sulfonamide moiety by carboxylesterase 1 (CES1) to yield the pharmacologically active metabolite MRE-269 (ACT-333679)
