Hypertension remains a global health challenge due to its high prevalence and association with premature morbidity and mortality. Aldosterone, a mineralocorticoid hormone, and its receptor, the mineralocorticoid receptor (MR), are highly implicated in hypertension pathogenesis. Aldosterone synthase is the sole enzyme responsible for producing aldosterone in humans.

Patients with hypertension are at an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and death. Resistant hypertension, or hypertension that is unsuccessfully treated with multiple antihypertensive medications, further exacerbates the complications and negative outcomes for patients. A new pathway, via aldosterone synthesis inhibition, is currently being studied as a method to reduce blood pressure values in patients who are currently taking other antihypertensive medications.

Aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) is a leading cause of primary aldosteronism (PA), a condition marked by excessive aldosterone secretion. CYP11B2, the aldosterone synthase, plays a critical role in aldosterone biosynthesis and the development of APA. Despite its significance, encoding regulatory mechanisms governing CYP11B2, particularly its degradation, remain poorly understood.

Objective: Aldosterone synthase deficiency (ASD) is a rare autosomal recessive inherited disease with an overall clinical phenotype of failure to thrive, vomiting, severe dehydration, hyperkalemia, and hyponatremia. Mutations in the CYP11B2 gene encoding AS are responsible for the occurrence of ASD. Defects in CYP11B2 gene have only been reported in a limited number of cases worldwide.

Inappropriate aldosterone excess plays a key role in the pathophysiology of various cardiovascular, endocrine and renal diseases. Mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) antagonists (MRAs) such as spironolactone block of the harmful effects of aldosterone and are recommended treatment in these various conditions. However, the sexual adverse effects of spironolactone due to its lack of specificity for the MR and the risk of hyperkalemia in patients with decreased renal function, limit its use.
