Application

Canrenoic acid potassium salt has been used as a human uridine 5′-diphospho (UDP)-glucuronosyltransferase inhibitor to study its effects on trifluoperazine (TFP) substrate selectivity. It has also been used to study its effects on the formation of aldosterone 18-glucuronide (ALDO 18β-G) in recombinant UDP-Glucuronosyltransferase-2B7 (UGT2B7), human liver (HLM) and human kidney cortical (HKCM) microsomes.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Competitive aldosterone receptor antagonist. Potassium canrenoate reduces the effects of aldosterone-induced increases in blood pressure and in cardiovascular fibrosis in animals with high sodium intake. It is used clinically for its anti-fibrotic effects. At higher doses it is genotoxic to liver and increases tumor incidence in rodent models.

The aim of this study was to investigate fast corticosteroid feedback of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis under basal conditions, in particular the role of the mineralocorticoid receptor. Blood samples were collected every 5 min from conscious rats at the diurnal

Mineralocorticoid receptors (MRs) in the hippocampus display an important role in the control of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, mediating the proactive feedback of glucocorticoids, which maintains the basal HPA activity. The systemic administration of MR antagonists enhances spontaneous and CRH-stimulated

Reversal of cardiac fibrosis is a major determinant of the salutary effects of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists in heart failure. Recently, R-fadrozole was coined as an aldosterone biosynthesis inhibitor, offering an appealing alternative to mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists to block aldosterone action.

1. Time course of renal alterations associated with long-term (since weaning) administration of a high sodium (HS, 8% NaCl) diet was assessed in Sprague-Dawley rats. Reversal by acute administration of the mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, potassium canrenoate (40 mg/kg, i.p.) or

To test whether glucocorticoids act as the endogenous agonist of cardiac mineralocorticoid receptors, we evaluated the cardiac effects of aldosterone and corticosterone and cardiac steroidogenesis vs. steroid uptake from plasma. Both corticosterone and aldosterone increased left ventricular pressure in the
