    Product Description

    Eplerenone is a mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist.1 It is selective for the mineralocorticoid receptor over glucocorticoid, androgen, progesterone, and estrogen receptors in radioligand binding assays (IC50s = 138, 6,920, 523, >10,000, and 5,702 nM, respectively). Eplerenone inhibits aldosterone-induced mineralocorticoid activity in a luciferase assay (IC50 = 122 nM). In vivo, eplerenone (100 mg/kg per day) reduces urinary albumin secretion and glomerulosclerosis in the Dahl salt-sensitive rat model of hypertension and nephropathy. It reduces myocardial IL-1β levels and collagen deposition, as well as improves left ventricular systolic dysfunction in a mouse model of acute myocardial infarction.2 Formulations containing eplerenone have been used in the treatment of hypertension and heart failure after myocardial infarction.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
