Biological Activity
ODH-08 is a novel specific small molecule ligand and agonist of RORα with KD value of 8.4 um, shows potent antifibrotic effect. ODH-08 does not activate other nuclear receptors involved in lipid metabolism such as PPARα, PPARγ, PPARδ, and LXRα. ODH-08 reduces hepatic collagen deposition and expression levels of fibrogenic markers such as α-smooth muscle actin and collagen type I alpha 1 chain in Western diet-fed mice. ODH-08 suppresses the expression of fibrogenic proteins in hepatic stellate cells (HSCs). ODH-08 suppresses the activity of SMAD2 and 3, which are the primary downstream proteins of transforming growth factor β.
