C.mineralocorticoid receptor blockers(MRB)or aldosterone blocker • Spironolactone (螺内酯) • a nonselective aldosterone blocker • Eplerenone (依普利酮) • a selective aldosterone blocker • either alone or in combination with other agents, and for the first-line treatment of heart failure secondary to myocardial infarction • Aldosterone action • MR (in nonepithelial tissues such as the brain and heart )activates transcription of target genes upon aldosterone binding • Formation of reactive interstitial fibrosis, a maladaptation that contributes to left ventricular (LV) remodeling

C.mineralocorticoid receptor blockers(MRB)or aldosterone blocker Eplerenone(依普利酮)Pharmacology/ pharmacokinetics • Eplerenone selectively binds to the mineralocorticoid receptor, thereby blocking the binding of aldosterone and thus inhibiting sodium reabsorption and other deleterious aldosterone-mediated mechanisms. • Eplerenone is metabolized via the cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4 pathway. No active metabolites are known to exist. The elimination half-life is 4 to 6 hours. Steady state is achieved within 2 days. Blood levels are potentiated and increased with concomitant use of inhibitors of the CYP3 A4 pathway (e.g., ketoconazole, saquinavir, erythromycin). The pharmacokinetics of eplerenone did not differ between men and women or between whites and blacks. Steady-state area under the curve and maximum concentration are increased with renal and hepatic insufficiency. Hemodialysis does not remove eplerenone.
C.mineralocorticoid receptor blockers(MRB)or aldosterone blocker • Animal studies using eplerenone have shown a positive role for aldosterone antagonism in the treatment of hypertension, heart failure, myocardial infarction, renal disease, and atherosclerosis. • In humans, eplerenone appears to be effective for the treatment of hypertension.

Pharmacological effects (1) Blocking effects of catecholamines on myocardium: decreasing heart rate and cardiac oxygen demand (2) Up-regulating receptor (3) Inhibiting RAAS and VP (vosopressin, 加压素): anti- myocardial hypertrophy and remodeling (4) Blocking -receptor and anti- free radical (5) Anti-arrhythmic and anti-hypertensive effects
E. receptor blockers Inverse agonist activity:The ability of β blockers to reduce this basal β-AR activity is termed "inverse agonist activity." Thus, a β blocker does not simply "block" the receptor, but further inactivates receptor activity beyond its baseline value, depending on its degree of inverse agonist activity. Metoprolol>bisoprolol=nebivolol>carvedilol
Significance of inverse agonist activity • β-AR regulation • Activated β-ARs are a substrate for receptor phosphorylation by β-AR kinase. Beta-AR phosphorylation leads to uncoupling of the receptor from the stimulatory G protein ("desensitization") or even internalization of the receptor ("down-regulation"). • Inactivation of β-ARs by inverse agonists inhibits phosphorylation of receptors and thus desensitization and down-regulation. • In chronic heart failure, where β-ARs are down-regulated due to chronic sympathetic activation, only the strong inverse agonist metoprolol, but not the weak inverse agonist carvedilol, leads to up-regulation of ventricular β-AR density.
E. receptor blockers 2. Clinical uses (1) CHF: NYHA grand II - III decrease of mortality (2) Other uses: hypertension, arrhythmias, angina, etc.
E. receptor blockers Therapeutic effects of β receptor antagonists on cardiac function in CHF patients
E. receptor blockers Carvedilol -- antioxidative effects in vitro • Hydroxyl radicals lead to systolic and diastolic dysfunction in human myocardium. • Carvedilol, but not metoprolol, reduces hydroxyl radical-induced cardiac contractile dysfunction in human myocardium. • In patients with heart failure, treatment with carvedilol reduces oxidative stress determined in myocardial biopsies.
