'''PF-514273''' is a drug that was developed by [[Pfizer]] for the treatment of [[hypertension]] (high blood pressure). It works by blocking the action of a hormone called [[aldosterone]], which is known to increase blood pressure. PF-514273 is a selective [[mineralocorticoid receptor]] antagonist, meaning it specifically targets and blocks the mineralocorticoid receptor, thereby reducing the effects of aldosterone.

PF-514273 works by blocking the [[mineralocorticoid receptor]], a protein found in cells that aldosterone binds to. When aldosterone binds to the mineralocorticoid receptor, it causes the body to retain sodium and water, which increases blood volume and blood pressure. By blocking the mineralocorticoid receptor, PF-514273 prevents aldosterone from having this effect, thereby reducing blood pressure.
