Therapeutic agent for fatty liver diseases
A recently filed patent (Publication Number: US20230201163A1) discloses a therapeutic agent for the treatment of fatty liver disease. The agent comprises a compound represented by a specific chemical formula (Formula 1). The patent claims that this compound can be used as a therapeutic agent for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) or non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH).
The patent further specifies that the therapeutic agent can be in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable salt, with hydrochloride being one example. This suggests that the compound can be formulated into a salt form for better stability and efficacy.
The claims also differentiate between NAFLD and NASH, two related but distinct conditions. NAFLD refers to fatty liver disease without inflammation, while NASH is characterized by both liver inflammation and fat accumulation. The patent claims that the therapeutic agent can be used for both NAFLD and NASH, indicating its potential broad applicability in treating different stages of fatty liver disease.
Additionally, the patent claims that the therapeutic agent can be effective in treating NAFLD or NASH accompanied by liver fibrosis or liver inflammation. This suggests that the compound may have the potential to address the underlying causes and symptoms of these conditions, potentially providing a comprehensive treatment approach.
Overall, this patent filing introduces a therapeutic agent for fatty liver disease, specifically targeting NAFLD and NASH. The compound described in the patent claims has the potential to be formulated as a pharmaceutically acceptable salt and may be effective in treating both NAFLD and NASH, with or without liver fibrosis or inflammation. Further research and development are needed to validate the efficacy and safety of this therapeutic agent in clinical trials.
