Eplerenone is an antimineralocorticoid, or an antagonist of the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR). [21] Eplerenone is also known chemically as 9,11α-epoxy-7α-methoxycarbonyl-3-oxo-17α-pregn-4-ene-21,17-carbolactone and "was derived from spironolactone by the introduction of a 9α,11α-epoxy bridge and by substitution of the 17α-thoacetyl ...
Eplerenone is a newer drug that was developed as a spironolactone analog with reduced adverse effects. In addition to the y-lactone ring and the substituent on C-7, eplerenone has a 9α,11α-epoxy group. This group is believed to be the reason why eplerenone has a 20-40-fold lower affinity for the mineralocorticoid receptor than spironolactone. [7]

Unlike the related medication eplerenone, spironolactone is said to not be metabolized by CYP3A4. [245] However, hepatic CYP3A4 is likely responsible for the 6β-hydroxylation of 7α-TMS into 6β-OH-7α-TMS. [18] [246] 7α-TMS may also be hydroxylated at the C3α and C3β positions. [19] Spironolactone is dethioacetylated into canrenone. [20]
