Bosentan is classified as a:

Beta-blocker
Endothelin blocker
Diuretic
Calcium channel blocker

The correct answer is: Endothelin blocker

Bosentan is classified as an endothelin blocker. This medication targets endothelin receptors, which are responsible for constricting blood vessels. A Beta-blockers work by blocking the effects of adrenaline on the heart and blood vessels. They do not specifically target endothelin receptors. C: Diuretics are used to increase the excretion of water and salt in the body, and do not affect endothelin receptors. D: Calcium channel blockers work by slowing the movement of calcium into the cells of the heart and blood vessels. They do not target endothelin receptors.
