Biological Activity
SHS4121705 is an orally bioavailable mitochondrial uncoupler.1 It increases oxygen consumption rate in L6 rat myoblast cells with an EC50 value of 4.3 μM. SHS4121705 (25 mg/kg per day in the diet) reduces hepatic steatosis, liver triglyceride levels, and plasma alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels in Stelic animal model (STAM) mice, a model of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
