Description

Efaproxiral is a small-molecule drug that acts as a selective inhibitor of the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK). PDK is responsible for inhibiting pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH), a key enzyme in the metabolism of glucose. By inhibiting PDK, efaproxiral increases PDH activity, leading to increased glucose oxidation and ATP production. This has been shown to have beneficial effects in various preclinical studies, including models of diabetes, obesity, and heart failure. Efaproxiral is currently in clinical trials for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. Its potential benefits include improving glucose tolerance, reducing insulin resistance, and improving cardiovascular outcomes. Research into efaproxiral continues, with ongoing efforts to understand its mechanism of action in greater detail and explore its potential therapeutic applications in other diseases.'

Research Excerpts

Overview

Efaproxiral (RSR13) is a synthetic allosteric modifier of haemoglobin. It acts by increasing the release of oxygen from Hb to the surrounding tissues.
