Abstrakt

Finerenone is a novel non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA) with high selectivity and affinity to mineralocorticoid receptor (MR). Steroidal MRAs, like spironolactone and eplerenone, have been in use for decades. They have an established position in the management of hypertension and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). There are studies showing that MR antagonism has anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic effects resulting in cardiovascular and renal protection. However, broader use of steroidal MRAs is seriously limited by antiandrogenic side effects and the risk of hyperkalemia. The differences in structure as well as pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties between steroidal and non-steroidal MRAs result in reduced risk of side effects while offering the benefit of cardiorenal protection. Finerenone is currently the only non-steroidal MRA approved by European Medicines Agency (EMA). It is indicated for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) with albuminuria and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). Several studies showed a reduction of the risk of cardiovascular and renal events in this group of patients compared to placebo. The risk of hyperkalemia was increased resulting in discontinuation of treatment in more patients than placebo, but the risk of serious adverse events did not differ significantly. The other indications for finerenone, including heart failure (HF) management, are currently being researched.
