Product Data:
Biological target: Eplerenone (Epoxymexrenone) is a selective, competitive and oreally active aldosterone antagonist with an IC50 of 138 nM.
In vitro activity: Additionally, notably elevated Ki67 expression was observed in ox-LDL-stimulated VSMCs relative to the untreated group, whereas EPL (eplerenone) intervention significantly decreased Ki67 expression, especially under co-treatment with 3 μM EPL (Fig. 1C). Consistently, EPL markedly downregulated the expression of minichromosome maintenance-2 (MCM-2) and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), which are key proliferation-related proteins, in ox-LDL-exposed VSMCs (Fig. 1D). These results implicate that EPL attenuates proliferation of VSMCs stimulated by ox-LDL. Reference: Adv Clin Exp Med. 2021 Apr;30(4):405-412. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33915037/
In vivo activity: To induce pulmonary hypertension, mice were exposed to chronic hypoxia for 6 weeks. Treatment with the MR antagonist eplerenone attenuated pulmonary vascular remodeling, hypertension, and right ventricular dysfunction.
