The Product is a highly selective and potent aldosterone syn thase inhibitor (ASI) that effectively reduces plasma aldosterone levels without affecting corti sol levels. The indications for this clinical trial approval are uncontrolled hypertension and primary aldost eronism. Pre-clinical studies indicated that the Product selectively inhibited aldosterone synthase ac tivity, significantly reduced plasma aldosterone levels in animal disease models, and dose-dependently lowe red blood pressure in hypertensive models while having no impact on cortisol levels. With favourable p harmacokinetic properties and safety profile, the Product has the potential to become a best-in-c lass therapy. Currently, the Group has submitted multiple patent applications for the Product in C hina and overseas.
