MedKoo Cat#: 530610 | Name: DRX-065

Description:

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

DRX-065 is a stabilized and deuterated R-enantiomer of pioglitazone. DRX-065 is superior to pioglitazone in reducing steatosis, NAS, and TG in mouse models of NASH. It is equivalent to pioglitazone. in reducing hepatic NEFA, cholesterol, inflammation, and fibrosis. DRX-065 has pharmacological properties desirable for the treatment of NASH (mitochondrial function modulation, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory effects, and glucose lowering effects) without the undesired PPARγ-related weight gain side effect.

More Info
Pioglitazone is one of the most widely studied drugs in NASH patients. Although clinical trial results are promising, pioglitazone’s use for the treatment of NASH is limited due to the adverse side effects of weight gain and fluid retention. DeuteRx’s preclinical data with the stabilized R-enantiomer of pioglitazone, DRX-065, offers the prospect of separating the undesired weight gain and fluid retention from the beneficial therapeutic properties for NASH. DRX-065 represents a potentially significant therapeutic improvement over pioglitazone for NASH patients.”
