Pharmacokinetics of the Novel, Selective, Non-steroidal Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonist Finerenone in Healthy Volunteers: Results from an Absolute Bioavailability Study and Drug-Drug Interaction Studies In Vitro and In Vivo.

Finerenone is predominantly metabolized by CYP3A4 in the gut wall and liver. Increases in systemic exposure upon concomitant administration of inhibitors of this isoenzyme are predictable and consistent with in vitro data. Inhibition of CYP2C8, the second involved metabolic enzyme, has no relevant effect on finerenone in vivo.
