BVT 2733

BVT 2733 is a new, small molecule, non-steroidal, isoform-selective inhibitor of 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (11β-HSD1).IC50 value:Target: 11β-HSD1 inhibitorin vitro: in vivo: BVT 2733 lowered hepatic PEPCK and glucose-6-phosphatase mRNA, blood glucose and serum insulin concentrations compared with vehicle treated mice [1]. CIA mice were treated with BVT-2733 (100 mg/kg, orally) or vehicle twice daily for 2 weeks. BVT-2733 treatment attenuated the arthritis severity and anti-CII level in CIA mice. BVT-2733 also decreased the levels of serum TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-17. BVT-2733 treatment also significantly reduced synovial inflammation and joint destruction [2]. Mice receiving BVT 2733 treatment exhibited decreased body weight and enhanced glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity compared to control mice. BVT 2733 also down-regulated the expression of inflammation-related genes including monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and the number of infiltrated macrophages within the adipose tissue in vivo [3].
