Product Description
Mechanism of action
Canrenone is an active metabolite of spironolactone and a mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist. It inhibits aldosterone-mediated transcription of sodium-channel proteins in the distal nephron, reducing sodium retention and potassium loss. It also exhibits antifibrotic and mild antiandrogenic effects.
Benefits and advantages
Used in renal-electrolyte research, aldosterone-pathway investigations, heart-failure studies, RAAS-modelling, anti-fibrotic mechanism studies and endocrine-modulation research.
Side effects and risks
Risks include hyperkalaemia, endocrine effects (e.g., gynecomastia), hypotension and renal impairment. Handle as a steroidal mineralocorticoid antagonist.
