Spironolactone Metabolism: Steady‐State Serum Levels of the Sulfur‐Containing Metabolites

Abstract

Metabolism of spironolactone in man is extensive and complex. For many years the dethioacetylated metabolite, canrenone, was assumed to be the major metabolite. However, recent studies using specific high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) have demonstrated the presence of spironolactone and the sulfur-containing metabolites 7 alpha-thiomethylspirolactone (IV) and 6 beta-hydroxy-7 alpha-thiomethylspirolactone (V), in addition to …
