Selective thyroid hormone receptor beta (THR-β) agonist

Description

First-in-class liver-directed THR-β agonist approved for metabolic-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). Reduces liver fat, fibrosis, and inflammation without systemic thyroid hormone effects.

Mechanism of action

Selective agonist of thyroid hormone receptor beta in hepatocytes activates metabolic genes; increases fatty acid oxidation, reduces hepatic lipogenesis and inflammation, improves fibrosis. Highly selective for THR-β minimizes cardiac/bone effects.
