Prorenone (developmental code nameSC-23133) is asteroidalantimineralocorticoid of thespirolactone group related tospironolactone that was never marketed.[1] It is thelactonic form ofprorenoic acid (prorenoate), andprorenoate potassium (SC-23992), thepotassiumsalt of prorenoic acid, also exists.[1] Prorenoate potassium is about 8 times morepotent than spironolactone as an antimineralocorticoid in animals, and it may act as aprodrug to prorenone.[1] In addition to themineralocorticoid receptor, prorenone also binds to theglucocorticoid,androgen, andprogesterone receptors.[2][3] The antiandrogenic potency of prorenonein vivo in animals is close to that of spironolactone.[3] Similarly to spironolactone, prorenone is also a potentinhibitor ofaldosteronebiosynthesis.[4]
Prorenone can be synthesized via aJohnson–Corey–Chaykovsky reaction by reaction ofcanrenone withtrimethylsulfoxonium iodide andsodium hydride.[5]
