Prorenoate Potassium
The potassium salt form of prorenoate, a steroidal aldosterone antagonist with potassium-sparing diuretic activity. Prorenoate antagonizes the activity of aldosterone at the mineralocorticoid receptor in the nephron and thereby prevents sodium reabsorption. This interferes with the sodium/potassium exchanger and causes sodium and water excretion while reducing potassium excretion. (NCI Thesaurus)
