Our aim was to review evidence for the role of novel mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) that are being developed as adjunctive therapies to reduce the risk of DKD and cardiovascular disease in the setting of T2D.
Esaxerenone (MINNEBRO™)-a novel oral, non-steroidal, selective mineralocorticoid receptor blocker-is being developed by Daiichi Sankyo for the treatment of hypertension and diabetic nephropathies.
Esaxerenone (CS-3150) is a nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor blocker that has shown kidney protective effects in preclinical studies, and it is a potential add-on therapy to treat diabetic kidney disease.
Characteristics of high- and low-risk individuals in the PRIORITY study: urinary proteomics and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonism for prevention of diabetic nephropathy in Type 2 diabetes.
Several academic groups and pharmaceutical companies have been developing a series of non-steroidal ligands that consist of different chemical scaffolds, yielding MR antagonists currently evaluated in clinical studies for the treatment of congestive heart failure, hypertension, or diabetic nephropathy.
Clinical studies have shown the benefit of MR blockade in patients with left ventricular dysfunction and heart failure after myocardial infarction (MI), hypertension or diabetic nephropathy.
Several large clinical studies have demonstrated the important benefit of mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonists in patients with heart failure, left ventricular dysfunction after myocardial infarction, hypertension or diabetic nephropathy.
