Non disponible en dehors du Royaume-Uni et de l'Irlande

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.
