Mexrenone (code namesZK-32055,SC-25152) is asteroidalantimineralocorticoid of thespirolactone group related tospironolactone that was never marketed.[1][2] It is thelactonic form ofmexrenoic acid (mexrenoate), andmexrenoate potassium (SC-26714), thepotassiumsalt of mexrenoic acid, also exists.[3] In addition to themineralocorticoid receptor, mexrenone also binds to theglucocorticoid,androgen, andprogesterone receptors.[4] Relative to spironolactone, it has markedly reducedantiandrogen activity (approximately one-tenth of the antimineralocorticoid dosage equivalent antiandrogen activity of spironolactone).[2]Eplerenone is the 9-11α-epoxyanalogue of mexrenone.[5]
