PF-06835919
PF-06835919 is an oral first-in-class clinical candidate for NAFLD/NASH targeting ketohexokinase (KHK), an enzyme which initiates the metabolism of fructose. The authors describe a very elegant structure-based design campaign to improve a modestly active, quickly cleared lead molecule into this highly potent, permeable, bioavailable, and [...]
aleniglipron
The recently released WHO INN proposed names list includes the structure and name of Structure Therapeutics’ oral small molecule GLP-1R agonist, aleniglipron (GSBR-1290). Seemingly emerging from a “fast-follower” program based on Chugai/Eli Lilly’s orforglipron, the compound includes an unusual phosphine oxide motif and has shown positive results on plasma glucose levels and bodyweight in a Ph. IIa study.
"compound 6g"
“compound 6g” is an oral inhibitor of the sodium-glucose co-transporters (SGLTs) 1 and 2, intended for the treatment of hyperglycemia. SGLT2 selective inhibitors (gliflozins) are approved for treatment of type 2 diabetes, and an SGLT1/2 dual inhibitor is expected to result in greater glycemic control. Like other SGLT inhibitors, this molecule [...]
BI-9787
BI-9787 is a potent zwitterionic inhibitor of KHK (ketohexokinase) designed to explore the therapeutic potential of KHK inhibition in metabolic disorders like diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and NASH (non-alcoholic steatohepatitis).
PF-05221304
PF-05221304 is a liver targeted inhibitor of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC). ACC is a key regulator of lipid metabolism, and there has been significant interest in ACC inhibitors for the treatment of multiple indications including NASH and diabetes. Pfizer previously took a systemic ACC inhibitor into the clinic (PF-05175157), which was found [...]
