Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists in Diabetic Kidney Disease [PDF]
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a major cause of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) worldwide. Mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) plays an important role in the development of DKD.

Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists [PDF]
Two mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, spironolactone and eplerenone, are currently approved by the FDA. Several non-steroid based ligands are in clinical trials for indications including heart failure, hypertension and diabetic kidney disease, and even more structurally distinct chemical series are reported in the literature with preclinical data

Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists in ESKD [PDF]
There is an urgent need for interventions that reduce cardiovascular risks in patients with ESKD. Recently there has been considerable interest in whether blocking the effects of the mineralocorticoid aldosterone could be such an intervention.

Thiazides and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists in chronic kidney disease [PDF]
The latest treatment guidelines for patients with arterial hypertension continues to indicate as the first line therapy a minimal association between renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blockers and a thiazide-type or a thiazide-like diuretic.

A SELECTIVE ANTAGONIST OF MINERALOCORTICOID RECEPTOR EPLERENONE IN CARDIOLOGY PRACTICE
The role of aldosterone in pathophysiological processes is considered. The effects of the selective antagonist of mineralocorticoid receptor eplerenone are analyzed. The advantages of eplerenone compared with spironolactone are discussed.

Mineralocorticoid receptor overactivation-induced remodeling of obese adipose tissue [PDF]
Obesity is a chronic disease caused by the long-term interaction of multiple environmental factors on a specific genetic background. Among these factors, the overactivation of mineralocorticoid receptors (MR) plays a significant role in adipose tissue ...

Eplerenone–A novel Mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist for the clinical application
Aldosterone is produced from the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal cortex in the adrenal gland, which is main mineralocorticoid hormone. Upon binding the mineralocorticoid receptor, it regulates sodium and potassium absorption, secretion, and retention ...

The Pharmacokinetics of the Nonsteroidal Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonist Finerenone. [PDF]
Finerenone, a selective and nonsteroidal antagonist of the mineralocorticoid receptor, has received regulatory approval with the indication of cardiorenal protection in patients with chronic kidney disease associated with type 2 diabetes. It is rapidly and completely absorbed and undergoes first-pass metabolism in the gut wall and liver resulting in a ...
