Approximately 6 μM SR9238 is detected in the liver 2h after the injection of SR9238, but no compound is detected in the plasma. SR9238 is also detected in the intestine with either ip or oral administration. SR9238-treated mice display greatly reduced lipid content in the liver. Results demonstrate that both Tnfa and Il1b expression are substantially reduced (~80% and >95%, respectively) in the SR9238-treated mice when compare to the vehicle-treated mice. SR9238-treated DIO mice display considerably lower intensity of F4/80 staining versus vehicle-treated DIO mice consistent with a beneficial effect of SR9238 on non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). SR9238 treatment does not alter body weight or percent body fat composition relative to vehicle treated animals during the experiment. Treatment with SR9238 suppresses diet-induced hepatosteatosis, hepatic inflammation, and hepatocellular injury^[1].
