Description

saroglitazar: a PPARalpha and PPARgamma agonist [Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), National Library of Medicine, extracted Dec-2023]

saroglitazar : A monocarboxylic acid that is (2S)-2-ethoxy-3-(p-ethoxyphenyl)propanoic acid in which one of the methyl hydrogens of the p-ethoxy substituent has been replaced by the nitrogen of 2-methyl-5-[4-(methylthio)phenyl]-1H-pyrrole. An agonist at the subtypes alpha and gamma of the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) with predominant PPARalpha activity, it is used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

Treatment

Saroglitazar treatment significantly reduced the liver injury markers (serum ALT and AST), reversed hepatic steatosis and decreased the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines like TNF-α in liver. Treatment with sarog litazar resulted in a rapid reduction of ALP concentration at Week 4 that was sustained through the study duration. Treatment also led to increase in the C-peptide (percent change: 59.42, 95% CI: 48.78, 70.06)
