[CAS NO. 1434635-54-7]  Firsocostat

Chronical administration of Firsocostat (ND-630) to rats with diet-induced obesity reduces hepatic steatosis, improves insulin sensitivity, reduces weight gain without affecting food intake, and favorably affects dyslipidemia. Chronical administration of Firsocostat Zucker diabetic fatty rats, Firsocostat reduces hepatic steatosis, improves glucose-stimulated insulin secretion, and reduces hemoglobin A1c (0.9% reduction). Firsocostat exhibits an aqueous solubility of 594 μM and human and rat plasma protein binding of 98.5% and 98.6%, respectively. Pharmacokinetic evaluation of Firsocostat in male Sprague-Dawley rats [i.v. 3 mg/kg; orally (p.o.) 10 mg/kg] yields a plasma t _1/2 of 4.5 h, bioavailability of 37%, clearance of 33 mL/min/kg, volume of distribution of 1.9 L/kg, oral time of maximum plasma concentration of 0.25 h ^[1] .
