6β-Hydroxy-7α-thiomethylspironolactone (6β-OH-7α-TMS) is a steroidal antimineralocorticoid of the spirolactone group and a major active metabolite of spironolactone.[1][2][3] Other important metabolites of spironolactone include 7α-thiospironolactone (7α-TS; SC-24813), 7α-thiomethylspironolactone (7α-TMS; SC-26519), and canrenone (SC-9376).[4][2][1][3]
Spironolactone is a prodrug with a short terminal half-life of 1.4 hours.[5][6][7] The active metabolites of spironolactone have extended terminal half-lives of 13.8 hours for 7α-TMS, 15.0 hours for 6β-OH-7α-TMS, and 16.5 hours for canrenone, and accordingly, these metabolites are responsible for the therapeutic effects of the drug.[5][6]

6β-Hydroxytestosterone, which is analogous to 6β-OH-7α-TMS, has been found to possess virtually no androgenicity.[8]
