Oral administration (3 mg/kg) to rats and dogs show bioavailability of 40% and 54%, respectively, consistent with the low microsomal clearance and good solubility at low pH. Formation of the direct product of ACC, malonyl-CoA, in the skeletal muscle and liver of lean rats is assessed 1 h following an acute oral dose of PF-05175157, showing concentration-dependent reductions in both skeletal muscle and liver malonyl-CoA. At the nadir, quadriceps and liver malonyl-CoA levels are reduced by 76% and 89%, respectively. The EC50s for inhibition of quadriceps and liver malonyl-CoA are 870 and 540 nM, respectively, determined from unbind plasma concentrations of PF-05175157. Acute oral administration of PF-05175157 inhibits hepatic DNL in rats in an unbind plasma drug concentration-dependent manner. PF-05175157 inhibits up to 82% of the incorporation of [14C]acetate into [14C]lipids with an EC50 of 326 nM[1].
