Researchers explored spironolactone modifications for mineralocorticoid receptor (MCR) ligands, but found no clinical improvements over existing drugs. In vitro affinity did not predict in vivo potency, challenging hormone action theories.

Area of Science:

  • Medicinal Chemistry
  • Endocrinology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Spironolactone derivatives were synthesized to target the mineralocorticoid receptor (MCR).
  • The goal was to find improved ligands for hypertensive disease treatment.
  • ZK 91587 was developed as an MCR ligand, replacing aldosterone.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize novel spironolactone derivatives with high affinity for the MCR.
  • To evaluate these derivatives for potential clinical use in hypertension.
  • To investigate the relationship between in vitro receptor affinity and in vivo biological activity.

Main Methods:

  • Chemical synthesis of spironolactone analogues.
  • In vitro assays to determine MCR binding affinity.

  • In vivo studies to assess biological potency.

    • Main Results:

    • Several spironolactone derivatives were synthesized, but none offered clinical advantages over existing treatments like Canrenone or Spironolactone.
    • ZK 91587, though commercialized, did not lead to superior derivatives.
    • A lack of correlation was observed between in vitro MCR affinity and in vivo efficacy.

    Conclusions:

    • Chemical modifications of spironolactone did not yield clinically superior MCR ligands.
    • The dissociation between in vitro affinity and in vivo potency questions established models of receptor-mediated hormone action.
