Eplerenone differs from spironolactone in its extensive metabolism, with a short half-life and inactive metabolites. [4] Eplerenone seems to be about 50 to 75% as potent as spironolactone as an antimineralocorticoid. [24] Hence, 25 mg/day spironolactone may be equivalent to approximately 50 mg/day eplerenone. [25]
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]
Spironolactone has been identified as an inhibitor of NRG1‐ERBB4 signaling. [142] Spironolactone has been found to act as a potent inhibitor of the pannexin 1 channel, and this action appears to be involved in its antihypertensive effects independently of MR antagonism. [143] Spironolactone has been found to block hERG channels. [144]
Dementia impacts millions of older adults, but researchers are still learning how, exactly, to prevent this devastating illness. Now, research suggests that increasing your intake of one specific ...
Potassium-sparing diuretics act to prevent sodium reabsorption in the collecting tubule by either binding ENaCs (amiloride, triamterene) or by inhibiting aldosterone receptors (spironolactone, eplerenone). This prevents excessive excretion of K + in urine and decreased retention of water, preventing hypokalemia. [10]
Canrenone is an active metabolite of spironolactone, canrenoic acid, and potassium canrenoate, and is considered to be partially responsible for their effects. [9] It has been found to have approximately 10 to 25% of the potassium-sparing diuretic effect of spironolactone, [ 16 ] whereas another metabolite, 7α-thiomethylspironolactone (7α-TMS ...
With 1,838 yards, the seven-year veteran has to average 133.5 yards in those final two games to seize the all-time mark. Barkley has topped that number in six of his 15 games this season.
Medicare Advantage enrollees can switch plans or transfer to original Medicare during the open enrollment period ending March 31. You cannot, however, jump from a traditional Medicare plan to a ...
