Description

General description

Eplerenone is an aldosterone blocker, which particularly blocks mineralocorticoid receptor. It reduces cardiovascular risk in patients following acute myocardial infarction. Eplerenone is used for treating hypertension and central serous retinopathy. It exhibits potassium sparing diuretic effect.

Application

Eplerenone has been used in quantitative real time (RT-qPCR) or western blotting assays.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Eplerenone is an aldosterone antagonist more specific for the mineralocorticoid receptor than spironolactone (S3378), having lower affinity for progesterone, androgen, and glucocorticoid receptors.

Eplerenone is an aldosterone antagonist.
