Abstract:

Over-activation or over-expressions of mineralocorticoid receptors lead to cardiovascular disease and di-sease progression. Antagonizing mineralocorticoid receptor, inhibiting its over activation and blocking the biological effects mediated by mineralocorticoid receptor, which is effective treatment of those diseases. The different chemical structures of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists determine the strength of antagonistic effect and clinical targeted application. With the development of the times, optimization of the chemical structure of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists improves the pharmacological properties, increases the selectivity and reduce the side effects. At the same time, there are different emphases in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. This paper summarizes the action mechanisms, pharmacological characteristics and clinical application advantages of different kinds of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists: spironolactone, eplerenone and finerenone, in order to provide new ideas in subsequent clinical application and future new drug research and development.

Key words: Mineralocorticoid receptor, Steroid compound, Non-steroid compound, Cardiovascular disease
