   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]

   However, spironolactone is metabolized to three active metabolites, which give it prolonged activity (13.8 – 16. 5 hours). Spironolactone has a long half-life and is excreted 47-51% through kidneys. Patients with chronic kidney disease therefore require close monitoring when taking the drug. Spironolactone is also eliminated through feces (35-41%

   Spironolactone – most widespread use, inexpensive; Eplerenone – more selective so reduced side-effects but more expensive and less potent; Finerenone – non-steroidal, more selective and potent than spironolactone and eplerenone; Canrenone – very limited use

6. 7α-Thiospironolactone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7α-thiospironolactone

   Spironolactone is a prodrug with a short terminal half-life of 1.4 hours. [5] [6] [7] The active metabolites of spironolactone have extended terminal half-lives of 13.8 hours for 7α-TMS, 15.0 hours for 6β-OH-7α-TMS, and 16.5 hours for canrenone, and accordingly, these metabolites are responsible for the therapeutic effects of the drug.

7. Spirolactone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirolactone

   Spirolactones are a class of functional group in organic chemistry featuring a cyclic ester attached spiro to another ring system. The name is also used to refer to a class of synthetic steroids, called steroid-17α-spirolactones, 17α-spirolactosteroids, or simply 17α-spirolactones, which feature their spirolactone group at the C17α position.
