Mineralocorticoid Receptor

Levonorgestrelis a synthetic progesterone analog; binds to the progesterone receptor (relative binding affinities are < 0.02, 7.5, 17, 58 and 323 % for estrogen receptors, glucocorticoid receptors, mineralocorticoid receptors, androgen receptors and progesterone receptors respectively).

Deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA) is a corticosteroid.

Esaxerenone, also known as CS-3150, XL-550, is a nonsteroidal antimineralocorticoid that acts as a highly selective silent antagonist of the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR), the receptor for aldosterone, with greater than 1,000-fold selectivity for this receptor over other steroid hormone receptors, and 4-fold and 76-fold higher affinity for the MR relative to the existing antimineralocorticoids spironolactone and eplerenone.

Canrenone is a metabolite of spironolactone, Na/K ATPase partial agonist and aldosterone and androgen receptor antagonist used as a diuretic.

Deoxycorticosterone is a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal gland that possesses mineralocorticoid activity and acts as an aldosterone precursor.

Apararenone (MT-3995) is a novel non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists under development for the treatment of diabetic nephropathies and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.
