MedKoo Cat#: 525160 | Name: Gemcabene calcium

Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Gemcabene is a lipid-lowering small molecule to be used as an adjunctive therapy to reduce LDL-C, hsCRP, and TGs. Gemcabene is a first-in-class oral drug candidate with pleiotropic properties similar to statins as shown in trials to date. Gemcabene has a unique mechanism of action that involves the: (1) blocking the production of hepatic triglyceride and cholesterol synthesis; and (2) enhancing the clearance of VLDL by decreasing ApoC-III.
