Abstract excerpt
In humans, spironolactone and mespirenone are well known antimineralocorticoids without C-11beta substituents. These compounds display antagonist properties by acting through the human androgen receptor (hAR). In contrast, we demonstrate here that synthetic mineralocorticoid antagonists bearing hydrophobic C-11beta substituents and C-17gamma-lactone are potent hAR agonists in vitro. The three-dimensional...
