| In Vitro | GFT505 is being developed as a dual PPAR-α/PPAR-δ agonist for the treatment of T2DM and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. GFT505 has an active metabolite, GFT1007, and both have potent agonist activity for PPAR-α and to a lesser extent for PPAR-δ[1]. |
| In Vivo | GFT505 improves insulin sensitivity and early studies indicate it may be useful in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease which is being tested in a Phase IIb study[1]. Elafibranor is well tolerated and does not cause weight gain or cardiac events, but does produce a mild, reversible increase in serum creatinine. Elafibranor improves insulin sensitivity, glucose homeostasis, and lipid metabolism and reduces inflammation[2]. GFT505 treatment improves glucose control and plasma lipids in diabetic db/db mice. A significant dose-dependent reduction of hepatic expression of the key gluconeogenic enzymes glucose 6-phosphatase (G6Pase), PEPCK, and fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase 1 (FBP1) is observed with GFT505. GFT505 does not induce cardiac adverse effects of PPARγ-activating agonists in monkeys[3]. |
