Finerenone

Finerenone (BAY 94-8862) is a third-generation, selective, and orally available nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonist (IC50=18 nM). Finerenone displays excellent selectivity versus glucocorticoid receptor (GR), androgen receptor (AR), and progesterone receptor (>500-fold). Finerenone has the potential for cardiorenal diseases research, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease[1][2].

Finerenone (BAY 94-8862) lowers albuminuria by >40% and significantly reduces systolic blood pressure (SBP) in Munich Wistar Frömter (MWF) rat[1]. Animal Model: Twelve-week-old MWF rat[1] Dosage: 10 mg/kg Administration: P.o.; daily for 4 weeks Result: Significantly reduced SBP in MWF rats; led to a significant reduction (>40%) in albuminuria in the MWF model. Animal Model: Twelve-week-old MWF rat[1] Dosage: 10 mg/kg Administration: P.o.; daily for 4 weeks Result: Significantly reduced SBP in MWF rats; led to a significant reduction (>40%) in albuminuria in the MWF model.
