Zamicastat (INNTooltip International Nonproprietary Name; developmental code name BIA-5-1058) is a peripherally selective dopamine β-hydroxylase (DBH) inhibitor which is under development for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) and heart failure.[1][2] It is structurally related to etamicastat and is said to be an improved version of this drug.[2] As of July 2022, zamicastat is in phase 2 clinical trials for PAH and phase 1 clinical trials for heart failure.[1] However, no recent development has been reported for heart failure.[1]
