Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) represents a spectrum of pathophysiology, ranging from hepatic steatosis, through non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and hepatic fibrosis, and in rare cases resulting in cirrhosis and liver failure.
Quantitative Systems Toxicology (QST) Supports Differentiated Liver Safety for a Next-in-Class Compound
Lixivaptan, a vasopressin-2 receptor antagonist, is under development for the treatment of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), an orphan disease with minimal treatment options.
Using Quantitative Systems Pharmacology Modeling to Understand the Effects of Acetyl CoA Carboxylase (ACC) Inhibition on Liver and Plasma Triglycerides in a Simulated Population
Treatment options for nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) are limited. One approach targets hepatic acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), which influences de novo lipogenesis (DNL) and fatty acid oxidation.
