Introduction Aldosterone and the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) play a key role in the regulation of electrolyte balance and blood pressure. Abnormalities in aldosterone and MR function lead to salt-losing disorders or hypertension

Introduction The mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) was first cloned in 1987 ( Arriza et al. 1987 ) as a critical regulator of blood pressure through modulation of renal sodium handling in response to its ligand, the steroid hormone aldosterone

Introduction The history of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) was initially a history of ‘aldosterone antagonists (AAs)’ as the identification of the first AAs during the 1950s was driven by the goal of identifying inhibitors of
