Spironolactone
Spironolactone is a potassium-sparing diuretic and aldosterone antagonist used in the treatment of hypertension, heart failure, and edema. It functions by blocking aldosterone receptors in the kidneys, promoting sodium and water excretion while retaining potassium. Available in powder form, it has a molecular weight of 416.57 g/mol, a molecular formula of C24H32O4S, and a CAS number of 52-01-7. Store at ambient temperature. Handle with care due to its signal word: Danger. Molekula supplies Spironolactone from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
