dgat1 inhibitor 2

DGAT-1 inhibitor 2 is an effective DGAT-1 inhibitor and anti-obesity drug. DGAT-1 (acyl-CoA: diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1) is one of two known DGAT enzymes that catalyze the final step of triglyceride synthesis. Transgenic mice and pharmacological studies indicate that inhibiting DGAT1 is a promising strategy for treating obesity and type 2 diabetes.

AZD7687 is a potent and selective DGAT1 inhibitor with an IC50 value of 80 nM (hDGAT1). IC50 value: 80 nM [1] Target: DGAT1 in vitro: Plasma AZD7687 exposure was measured repeatedly. AZD7687 markedly reduced postprandial TAG excursion with a steep concent
