Spironolactone in dermatologic therapy

TL;DR: The use of spironolactone as an antiandrogen in dermatologic therapy is reviewed, the endocrinologic effects, pharmacology, dermatologic uses, and side effects are discussed, and guidelines for its use are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Substrate specificities and functions of the p450 cytochromes

TL;DR: Current focus is on the identification and acquisition of sequence information on hereto unidentified and/or uncharacterized P450 isoforms and ascertainment of the specific functions of specific, individual isoforms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cellular and molecular aspects of the renal effects of diuretic agents

TL;DR: Increased knowledge of the nature of transport proteins and their molecular regulation in the translocation of ions across kidney membranes has emerged and it is likely that this knowledge will permit further insight into nephron function regulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Destruction of testicular cytochrome P-450 by 7α-thiospironolactone is catalyzed by the 17α-hydroxylase

TL;DR: The results indicate that the 17α-hydroxylase catalyzes the conversion of 7α-thio-SL to the reactive metabolite responsible for P-450 destruction, which supports the hypothesis that suicide inhibition is the mechanism involved.

Protein Measurement with the Folin Phenol Reagent

TL;DR: Procedures are described for measuring protein in solution or after precipitation with acids or other agents, and for the determination of as little as 0.2 gamma of protein.

The Carbon Monoxide-binding Pigment of Liver Microsomes I. EVIDENCE FOR ITS HEMOPROTEIN NATURE

TL;DR: The present paper gives a detailed account of the investigations on rabbit liver microsomes and crude microsomal digests, which have led to postulate the hemoprotein nature of the pigment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Studies on the destruction of adrenal and testicular cytochrome P-450 by spironolactone. Requirement for the 7alpha-thio group and evidence for the loss of the heme and apoproteins of cytochrome P-450.

TL;DR: In viva or in vitro studies presented in this paper suggest that spironolactone or deacetylspironolactsone may be converted by cytochrome P-450 to an active metabolite which, in turn, destroys the heme of cyto Chrome P- 450, thereby decreasing steroid hydroxylase activities in the adrenal or in the testes.

Spironolactone: Disposition, Metabolism, Pharmacodynamics, and Bioavailability

TL;DR: In this paper, Spironolactone: Disposition, Metabolism, Pharmacodynamics, and Bioavailability is discussed and a review of drug metabolism reviews is given, with a focus on drug metabolism.
Journal ArticleDOI

New insights into the pharmacokinetics of spironolactone.

TL;DR: This study demonstrated that 7α‐Thiomethylspirolactone is the main metabolite of spironolactone after a single oral dose as judged by the AUC(0–24) and the maximum concentration.
